Hello,
This is my first time posting here, so thanks in advance for the advice. I've been in the saltwater hobby for eight years and I'm moving out to college in a few months. I have a 2.5 gallon glass aquarium (w/ HoB filter & clip-on LED light), and I was thinking about setting up a pico reef.
I've never had a reef tank smaller than 20 gallons, and I've heard that picos are notoriously hard to maintain due to fluctuations in water parameters. What kind of daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance would be required for a pico? I'd also be curious to hear all of your experiences with them.
For reference, I have experience with LPS, SPS, soft corals, and anemones. Thanks a lot!
