Is there a specific heater to use with this tank? I’ve seen links to the InkBird controller but not a heater.

This one works and fits nicely, if you have the money the temp controller by zilla that is sold at petco as well works better than the inkbird in my experience.

Nano Build - Maggie's Mini Complete Tank build

Hello all nano reefers! I'm documenting my journey with the Cunzo Mini Complete Tank, and 'competing' in the unofficial contest! I've had my tiny aquarium for about a month, but I've done a few things to prepare for the official start date. I first inspected and tested the pump, assembled...

Build Thread - Mini Complete Tank With Display Sump

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum but have been lurking around the web with my reefing shenanigans for a little while now. I'm a big fan of pico reefs. There has always been something about having a tiny, thriving piece of the ocean on your desk or bookshelf that peeks my curiosity. I got...

It's official! Everyone AND their mom is in on this contest! I've seen like three build threads on here and I am already certain I haven't got a hope. I'm just here to have fun and to see how some of these epic tiny builds turn out!

OK just have mine leak testing and salt creep may be an issue.

What makes you say that?

 

[Ben's Pico Reefing]

Salt creep maybe do to the in flow pushing up on lid and carried over sides. The baffles may need to be lifted a bit.

I just want to wish everyone best of luck with their mini complete tanks! I have a freshwater setup and its been a chore trying to keep it clean, I can't imagine having salt in there.

Here is how mine looks. The orange lobster got moved to a different tank.

 

[Stang67]

What makes you say that?

I had some around the bottom in the groove where the tank and sump meet. Not much just thought it was odd. Maybe sump level too high. Will see if still an issue next week. Plan on installing a top off so that should keep level lower.

Sorry for being a tad out of the loop for the past few days, everyone. I've been working very diligently on my main display tank recently as it's getting a major remodel in almost every aspect, and it's been needing my full attention recently. I'll be freed up to get my own mini build thread written up and added to the fray this week ;Shamefullyembarrased

We're getting closer to the start date, i cant wait to get mine filled up.

The start date is closing in and I'm very impatiently waiting! I'm also a bit behind on the progress I was hoping to make on my mini build, but oh well! Haha

Mine finally arrived! I am officially IN!

Heck yeah! Glad it made it to you in time for the fun!

My mother got sucked into my enthusiasm.... LoL I bought her a tank as well, I'll help her make a R2R account later so she can post.

That's so awesome! I'm very happy this has reached so many people and we have such a large group of members who will be partaking in the this friendly contest! I really can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
