I would just like thank Dallops for making want a pico... once again

Here's the new tank. It's a 2.5g that i picked up from Wal-Mart a while back. I had used it for a tank before, but decided not to do it anymore because of a reason i can no longer remember... yeah.
Dirty, but here it is.

With sand

Live rock and water. I pured the water onto a bag placed on top of the sand so it wouldn't create a sandstorm. It's only been about 10min or so

Full tank with some stand showing. I'm not planning on upgrading lights right now, but there is a hitch hiker from the 55g if you can see him.

At the current there's only about 4wpg or so and i think the tank with all the LR and DSB is only just under 2g of water... wish me luck

LOL, i keep asking my wife if i could get an Above ground swimming pool, cut a rectangle out the side and stick a acrilic window, then fill it with sand and everything and have a hole in the roof above it and make it a reef... It'd be 3ft deep and who knows how long with an unheard of amount of LR and sand... and the corals would look good too... I wish

I actually have that coral still living and well. I had just move the rocks into the tank so it's fine now that the lights are on... so in short, I'm winning 8)

Yeah yeah, but i cheated:twisted:. My LR is from my 55g and the water is too. I'm checking, but i am not getting a cycle because it's past that. It'll be ok for me to keep going so... I"ll have an update later.

Thanks, i'm not worried about the isolation, i'm wanting most of the rocks to be covered with something :-D. i know that is probably overcrowd, but i think it'll look great

The GSP in my 55g are isolated, but there are only a few polyps for now, it's only the stuff that encrusted from the plug in the this tank. After it encrusts here, i'm going to give it to my mom, who will have a tank, with very little. She loves the things.

Perhaps some shrooms are to come too... IDK yet, but we'll see.

Still no fish :cry:

Welp, i just found out some bad new... My Jolly Green Giants aren't Jolly Green Giants. They just green zoas and my Watermelons aren't watermelons... idk what'll be next :oops:

IMHO a zoo is a zooanthid sp.

all these fancy names are just for marketing purposes to make more sales. new names come out daily with all the color morphs. regardless if they are whammin kiwi strawberries or punchin milkduds (names i just made up but wouldnt be suprised if they existed) they would STILL BE zooanthid sp. and still look good. good job fragging, my only advice would be to include a few more polyps per frag if possible.
i personally like to include atleast 8-10 per frag (unless they are just too slow growing or that rare) i even just did up some purple deaths the other day and they had 7-8 polyps.
nice coraline growth too, cant wait till this this is jam packed with corals and theres nice growth.
