Reefs September 16, 2012 September 16, 2012 Reef tank on a budget: This is going to be a 0.75 gallon pico reef using acrylic display boxes.
Reefs September 16, 2012 Author September 16, 2012 (edited) Thanks. Here is some details about it: Tank: 7''x5''x5'' display box (about 0.75 gallon) Stand: Another display box (for now). Filtration: Background container will include : Elite mini powerhead, heater and Chaeto algae. Lighting: 10 watt screw in CF 50/50 (daylight/actinic). Edited September 16, 2012 by Reefs

Reefs September 16, 2012 Author September 16, 2012 Very cute ! are you going to put any fish in there with the zoas??? No, there is no room, I am thinking tiny bristle stars . do you have any suggestions?
Reefs September 19, 2012 Author September 19, 2012 (edited) I used the box at the bottom instead of the one behind the tank to hold the equipment (filter,heater,thermometer)and the chaeto algae, it also have room for floating valve that will help with evaporation issue.

smallreef September 19, 2012 September 19, 2012 Will look good when they all start to open! I really like your idea of using the "stand" to house the equipment needed... makes it look alot cleaner than it coming out of the back...
