Bunji's 5g Pico Reef

bunjiweb · Apr 10, 2006

Some pics of one of my "pico" reefs which is just under 5G. This one has lots of mushrooms, zoanthids and other polyps, a baby scooter blenny, 2 hermits and a turbo snail. Filtered by a Resun internal filter (with spray bar) and a nano 25W heater. Lighting from an 11W Compact T5.

Looks Great!

Just worried about that scooter blenny :look:

How long have you had him and how do you plan to feed him?
Very cute fish though

Well, i let the tank since about December last year so that there are loads of copeopods and the like in the tank for it to feed off.

I made sure i got one from work that was already feeding on plankton so I have that as a backup.

I've had him for a while know, not sure exactly but its probably just under a month. He's about 1". I wanted to wait until I was happy with the tank before i posted any pics though.

He probably won't stay in there as I am planning to get a new bigger tank to transfer my 15G nano into he will probably go into there when I do if i'm not happy with him in the pico. I'm looking into a 15"Hx18"x24" tank which would be about 23 Gallons.

Very nice..that scooter WILL need a larger system. WTG. SH

Already explained about the scooter, and hey, if i cant get another tank up and running in time I can always take it back to work where we have 42 tanks, or put it in my friends 4x2x2 reef.

Thanks for the nice comments anyway.

You should post your pico in the members tank threads. SH

bunjiweb · Apr 11, 2006

I will when i get a picture of it that I am actually happy with it, the above pictures are VERY poor by my standards, I wouldnt want to tarnish our members tanks thread with such shoddy photos

Just wondering, have you touched up that picture of the scooter blenny?

He's the most colorful looking scooter i've ever seen if not :good:

bunjiweb · Apr 12, 2006

No not at all. Very poor picture of the scooter infact. He is just naturally very colourful. Has a beautiful pink tail and edging to his pectorals.

Whatever your doing, keep up the great work. Both of your tanks are awesome. Cant wait to see what your next tank will look like.

Pics of my 2nd "PICO" reef will appear soon... It's another 5 Gallon tank, this time an "Aqua-40".

Over the next 6 months however I am thinking of moving my 15G Nano into a 20G 2ft tank so keep posted for that..
