Pico (Micro?) Tank idea

[LordJoshaeus]

Hi everyone! I viewed a video of a tiny, 5 inch long tank with a sump, overflow, pump...everything :O It was toted as the world's smallest fully functional tank, and it inspired me to make a tiny tank of my own. It is going to be a half gallon betta tank, divided into a seven inch long display portion and a three inch long filtration and heating section. Here is my design;

I am going to use a 10 watt mini heater and an 80 GPH pump, with 100% weekly water changes. How does this look? Thanks

In my opinion, it is more work and time consuming than to purchase an all in one Waterbox or Cadlight 4 or 7 gallon tank for under $100
Moreover, you couldn’t put anything really in it.
Don’t get me wrong...I love nano tanks but less than a gallon and you are very limited.

Not even hardy corals or macroalgae? That's all I was planning on putting in it.

Hey bud, did you ever decide to build?

I had a similar idea when I saw that tiny tank video, but thought of using a 2.5 gallon as a zoa tank.
