I only have bits of coraline to show for now, and xtmreef's Xeniidae-dominant tank is going to win anyway...

I was going to make a micro-shot glass display, sadly after getting out the shot glass, it just had to be used. Back to the drawing board, perhaps a wine glass - now, where did I put that bottle of wine ?

Maybe a micro-shot glass fuge..... a SSB, a pinch of micro algea for flavor and topped of with a tiger pod perhaps gently shaken, not stirred?

Question Micro / Pico Setups

grrr, don't tell me I need to find a glass thimble for the ultimate micro-pico, illuminated with a single LED !!!! of course the shot glass could be used as a RDSB, got to get my water volume up somehow!

I can sense V out there already looking for something smaller than a shot glass!

A show you definately wont know, cause its ozzie "community channel" cheap aired station material stuff, but the shows called 'blokes world' basicly 2 ozzies create a show on things they love, dirt bikes, beers, pole dancers, the list go's on, but it reminded me of a saying / title they have for this asian kung foo doo segment that i wanted to relay to you. "You me carpark now" You & me are about to start up a micro segment. Im tired of waiting - i want to have some fun! rules: 2 weeks max to prepare a mini set up out of any items your mind can bend to! Full working models a must & design concepts must be capped to max $60 per round if you need to buy external componantry. 10 gal max, although im sure we wont reach that much..lol You can choose you for-go live stock in favour of design. Although livestock will be classified as bonus kudos.

>>> 10 gal max

That would be HUGE for a micro. I say, we go for the 1-gallon max sized pico, and perhaps even less for a micro. I have a cunning plan for lighting already though don't think I can actually get a powerhead small enough to provide water movement in my insane evil plan! Of course, the micro actually has to be a running tank/micro habitat and capable of keeping something alive for a while!

So, Mr. V, how about the 1-gallon challenge ?

Warm and evil regards!

I was surfing around for micro water components last night, I found a tiny little pump for scientific/medical use (pumped a few liters per hour!), alas, it would blow our budget on it's own ! So much for providing water flow in my shot-glass ! Seems also that 1g-3g is considered "Pico", 3g to 20g a nano, there is a femta category for volumes less than 1g now! So, we are on the bottom end of the "pico". Saw a nice picture of someone who used a plant vase as a tank! Seems like some crazy folks out there --- and we are about to join there ranks! My next of kin are notified and I am searching for components now! Problem areas already are micro
