Pico Aquarium

Tetra1 · Feb 8, 2014

I am looking to buy a pico aquarium in the price range of $20.00-$100.00. I am looking to do this, one, because my last tank was a 125 gallon and I have a biocube that I cannot set up in the house I am in because I have no where to put it. When I move, that'll be another story. I am really hoping you all can give me some ideas as to what type to purchase and etc. I am hoping to have mini saltwater fish in it, and possibly some coral. Any help on this matter would be appreciated. I really miss my 125 & 30 gallon misfit salt tanks. :sad:

I don't know of any that fit in that price range new but Innovative Marine has some all in one tanks that are close. They have 4 gallon and 8 gallon picos. $149 for the 4 gal and $199 for the 8 gal.

You can pick up the 4g Cadlights Mini for $90 now on sale.
It has amazing starphire curved corner glass and a better light than the innovative marine.

I have the freshwater version at home for a year now.
And i just recently started a build thread in the nano forum for my 8g saltwater so you can see the details there.

Thanks for all of the suggestions, I ended up getting a heck of a deal on the Fluval Spec V tank 5.? gallon. The original price was $99.00 and I got it for half price. It apparently was my lucky day. I will be setting it up here soon for my first go at a pico tank. I am very excited as I have always had tanks 10 gallon all the way up to 125 gallon. I am going to be making a live rock/planted aquarium out of it. When I get going on the tank I will post a build thread. Wish me luck!! :cheer2:
