Pico Reef tanks are a special group of very small reef aquarium which are generally agreed to be around five gallons or less. Just like ‘full sized’ mini reef aquariums, nano and pico reef aquariums can be difficult to maintain and keep looking good in the long term if you don’t know what to do.
尽管Pico Reef坦克似乎很难，但实际上它们是开始礁石保持礁石的一种非常好的方式，或者设置显示出较小的珊瑚和更小的礁石寿命的显示器。全球珊瑚以其令人兴奋的珊瑚菌株而闻名，但是就像他们的礁石保持方法一样，他们的员工精通礁石的礁石保持各种尺寸，包括范围的小末端。
This little two gallon pico reef created by Bobby Melton is a great example of howeasyit can be to set up a miniature tank to grow your own slice of a coral reef. Protein skimming, testing and dosing is replaced by regular water changes, auto top off is replaced by preventing evaporation with a tight fitting lid, and a basic preset heater manages the water temperature.
In a tank this small the flow provided by the return pump is enough to move the water around the tank and beyond that, the only other consideration to be made is for choice of corals and small fish. Better yet, these small tans are perfect for showcasing small ornamental invertebrates like small shrimp, anemones, sea cucumbers and even tiny octopus!
