My 2.5 gallon Pico reef, photo taken today and the reef almost 2 years old.
It's only a foot across, which is VERY small for a reef aquarium. The front is the size of a sheet of paper. This was thought to be impossible in the past. Previous reef keepers thought only huge tanks were possible. Anything is possible!
It runs on 9W of light (coral life bulb), plus additional sunlight from my always openned window. I must admit that I think it should get better lighting. It has a Rio nano skimmer, and I do weekly 25% water changes (but that is fast).
Nemo the percula clown fish seems happy, as are the corals. I moved Nemo in the middle of this year from my other tank, she was not the original fish. Much of it is the original corals which grew, I added the torch coral and Duncanopsammia
This was what the tank looked like in March 2008 (quite a difference as things got bigger and coralline algae grew):
The tank had a heater issue and overheated killing my previous firefish goby The corals died back, but most rebounded
