Hey
Have been thinking about setting up a pico tank, just for small inverts like hermits, and a few coral frags. Here are my ideas:
-: 1 gallon tank (thats just under 5 litres here in the UK)
-: Live rock and aragonite sand, obviously very minimum
-: small powerhead for water movement
-: livestock: a few blue leg hermits, one or 2 snails, small coral frags taken from my main 10 gallon tank, no fish or large inverts.
-: lighting using a mini PC, hard to find but look like desk lamps, 50/50 versions are available
Now heres my problem - heat
The tank is going to be too small for even the smallest heater without it looking odd, does anyone know of any alternatives to traditional aquarium heaters that could be used? could i submerse the heater into the sand bed?
Im not sure if this is more a dream than a reality but i would really like to give it a go, if anyone has any input that would be great.
Thanks, Andy
