Pico Cost

[danb_1985]

how much realistically would i need to spend to set up a pico tank including tank? does anyone know of any good tanks that can be bought on the internet in uk?

if this is your first marine tank, buy a bigger tank a 30 gallon that wont crash with one little error, trust me, picos are not for beginners!!

no i've kept marine before and would like to go back to salty and really like the look of a pico. it is also a space factor.
not necessarily lookin to keep fish so pico ideal

mmm, i would go 30 litres minimum, preferably 45 litres, some of the wave tanks are nice.

where would i find one of those? i dont want an open top tank as i dont like the condensation lol.

what sort of cost would a pico be?

sounds fine for a small tank, in the 30 litre + range

remember you will only be able to keep a few corals, such as zoanthus that can be easily fragged.

i know. thanks for the help

Tiny marine tanks arent much cheaper than building a 30 gallon.
