| Hi All. Before I say anything else, I would just like to say I've done a lot of research on owning/Taking care of a saltwater tank. But, My question is if i were to buy this tank PICO ALL IN ONE AQUARIUM (12X14X8.75) 6.5GALLONS!!! - eBay (item 190321250906 end time Aug-12-09 00:58:41 PDT) what would you add in the back for filtration? and what light would you use? thanks ![]() |

| For a Pico, I would go with the smaller 70W JBJ K-2 Viper HQI (150W model is too much power for 6 gallons.) It is a clamp on MH with adjustable height for light acclimation..: JBJ K-2 Viper 70W HQI Clamp on Lamp Lighting Fixture - eBay (item 200341863208 end time Aug-11-09 07:21:32 PDT) As for the filtration.. It is hard to tell from the single picture, but you will definitely need a filter sponge/sock, ceramic rings/bio-balls/other type of preferred filtration media, a small return pump, directional flow head, a possible HOB refugium.. Basically your going to have to piece all the filtration equipment together, unless you find a kit with everything you need. I will help you look for such a kit.
