Updated System Info:
Tank: Fluval Spec V (5 gallon)
Light: AI Prime LED
ATO: dosing pump sending water on a timer.
Sump/Skimmer/Dosing/all that other stuff: None yet (we will see how it does with water changes alone. I plan to do a 90% WC weekly).
Feeding schedule: fish gets marine pellets daily. Corals get reef roids once a week a few hours before WC.

Original first post:
Hi! I'm returning after a 3 year break from the hobby. I had a 60 gallon tank that crashed in 2017 when we had a blackout of nearly a week (I had a battery backup on the tank, but it was only enough to run for 3 days. Who would have thought I'd need it for 7).
Anyway, I'm ready to jump back in. I'm trying a pico tank this time in my basement office. It's going to be a while before I can actually get it up, stocked and running, but I'm very excited.
Just getting started and rounding up a list of equipment I'll be using... here we go!
Right now, I'm thinking it will be bare bottom. We'll see.
Stay tuned if you're into picos!
