Pico Reef Tanks

Are you a reef aquarium fanatic who already has a small aquarium (nano) but is looking for something even...smaller? Pico reefs are a step up from nano reefs, and are even tinier--ranging anywhere to a small 3 gallon tank to a wine glass.

Pico reefs are not for newbies, however. Caring for a pico reef takes a lot of work, knowledge, and experience. If you want to have a successful, long-lasting pico reef, you need to be well-equipped.

Looking to start a cool pico reef but don't know which tank to choose? Check out the Picotope 3 Gallon Aquarium. Picotopes are slick, elegant, and look perfect on any desktop.

It is a really neat little aquarium. I have seen literally dozens of stunningly beautiful reef aquariums kept in JBJ Picotopes. Best of all is Picotopes include everything needed to run a happy pico reef--the tank itself with sleek curved glass edges, a 9 watt power compact light, 40 GPH filter specially designed for pico reef tanks, and much more.

How to start a pico reef aquarium

The Nano-Reef Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Reef Systems Under 15 Gallons

Amazon Price: $59.18 (as of 02/14/2012)

I know this book isn't exactly about pico reef tanks, but it's the closest I can find! Pico reefs are still a new thing and there is almost NO information about it in the printed world. Anyways, this book will teach you the basics of starting a small aquarium and what thrives best in them.

As profundezas de Pipe: Mais surfistas morrem aqui que em qualquer outro pico do planeta! No começo do mergulho, o cenário é vulcânica - lava com pedaços de concha quebrada. Pouco a pouco começam a aparecer uns buracos na lava e umas cabeças de pedra.
Hawaii, by Elena Bravo: Hay olas para todos los niveles, solo hay que acostumbrarse al reef ya las tortugas Waikiki, una de las mejores playas para hacer longboard. Fue el primer baño que tuve y la verdad que super mítico. Tengo que volver a coger el long pronto.

hi i have a jbj picotope like the one you have i have had it running for over a year now but it was a the petstore that i worked at for almost 7 months and when i got layed off i had to leave it there because of the lack of room at home and it was nowhere near properly taken care of in my absence so i forced myself to bring it home and pretty much started over with it though the corals and some of the live stock survived the water quality was horrible and the tank it self was very dirty so i cleaned it up and got it back to good health which took a good month or two but in my experiance if your not going to keep fish in your picotope and you are good about doing weekly waterchanges and topoffs than there is no reason to have a filter on your pico. i only run a 35 gph micropump for circulation and everything in it is thriveing and admitidly i have even kept two catalina gobys with just the pump and did fine until the layoff after which they cought ich and died because i was not able to be there and maintain the tank on a daily basis.
