moving the tank was easier than a water change on the bigger tank. lol all i did was scoop out 15-20 cups of water into a 5g bucket then place all the rock and coral into the bucket and moved it to the car. then picked up the tank with 3-4" of water and sand and placed into the car. got everything else into the car and brought her to the new house. and setting back up was a breeze. it was harder getting the mount for the light then the whole move. lol
equipment is just a koralia pico in the right top corner and a aquaclear 20 with brs carbon and gfo. plan on doing the same maintenance routine which was a gallon water change weekly and cleaning the bag of carbon and gfo while replacing with the recommended amount which is 1 tbsp of carbon and gfo.

thanks these are alot of fun. more than i ever thought.

I have a larger tank as well , but for some reason I cant seem to pull myself away from the nano/pico world. Maybe I enjoy the stress & torture that can easily come with smaller tanks.

yea right now my big tank is cloudy then a blizzard with no headlights driving 90mph down the road. close your eyes and picture that and you'll see my tank. lol not behaving right now is what i'm saying.

update tho. got a 3-4" clam, red planet, dlue digi, and some goblin fire zoas. price FREE can't beat that. pics to come soon. lol
