Smallest Nano Reef

[GuppyDude]

My LFS has set up a 1g nano reef. Its basically got live rock, live sand, and a few little corals growing, but it appears to be doing well. They even added a baby clown fish.

Umm... a few hundrend ml methinks. Some did a really cool one out of one of those new fangled ant farms-pretty cool, especially since it came with blue LED's

I'm doing a less than 1g one ATM.

I would say this is the smallest one seen not sure if it is real or not but here it is :

Indeed, but as with most things, when you start looknig into the views of people who actually keep them (in this case, pico reefs) you'll see views are very different. RE tank size for corals, fish, lighting- almost every aspect.

It looks like it has zoos and stuff in it for the later pictures...I am left wondering though whether that big branching thing in the right corner is actually alive or not.

 

[OohFeeshy]

Could well be, on the next page it looks to be the same thing but opened.

 

[Donya]

DOH! Yeah that second page button is a nice thing to see isn't it

(edit for mis-spell giberish...I seem to have a case of chronic typos today)

Why O why

If you think thats bad here's one of the admin with a clown in a 2.5g - absolute lunacy

 

[Donya]

Is that a nem in the lower corner?

My point exactly made about differing opinions

 

[samyboy]

woooooooooooow id love to set up a mini nano and just house 1 maybe 2 bits of LW / coral still costly though im guessing? and no chances of fish which sucks

Looks like a Majano Anemone - a pest

Aw... they look neet too. I was going to be amazed that it was doing ok in such a small system, but I guess if it's Majano then it's no big surprise.



BTW, what exactly has to be in a tank anyway to pass the SH test as a real pico tank? How about a tank with a single shroom?

Hey, I could get a neon goby for my 1g

On a better note, this is the tank I absolutely adore
