Pico Experience

[ReeferMan420]

I have this cool little Pico in my office that will be coming home with me. Pretty minimal with a DIY light system and a nice HOB filter. I have a few corals in there with a pair of Bali Misbar Clowns. Fun lil fish to watch and look forward to making this a nice themed tank!

Thank you! Luckily (knock on wood) this has been pretty clean for about 6 weeks now. I went with a way too big HOB by Gresch and as a built in UV so I think that helps as well!

I have said on posts going back ten yrs I like uv on nanos, they're great cheats to have much like skimmers so many like. uv + pico reefs are very good combo, they burn out cyano and bits of floating algae that always want to anchor in a reef that's neat. any plankton they kill doesnt matter, my 100% water changes kills more anyway.

my reef is a small pico, I wish they made thumb sized arrays of UV like a little pond sterilizer setup

I agree. The UV is a pretty neat component on this HOB but I do agree with you that there should be some micro uv inserts to add on custom little builds. I do about a 50% WC a week but this has a nice media basket built in butt well that I have Chemipure and some ceramic pods for extra biological filtration
