Hi I just got this tank and I got an extra 12k/ blue strip and a straight blue strip and it looks great but will this be good for coral growth or do u suggest going with three 12k/ blue thanks

[ecoxotic1]

@dusty250r1 Yep, you have a great color combination for coral growth.

[middleinfield4thewin]

I know it that zoanthids and mushrooms grow great but will the stock lighting be enough to grow light loving SPS corals like acropora or would you have to upgrade the lighting. Also to grow these corals would you have to add a small powerhead to make a strong enough current. Beautiful tanks, cant wait to get one

[ecoxotic1]

@middleinfield4thewin Yes, the stock lighting is enough for lower light SPS corals. If you want higher light SPS corals, simply add an additional 453nm Blue EcoPico LED strip.  You can add a small power head or pump if you like.

What you running in the filter,?

[ecoxotic1]

@ManCrayon The filter has a mechanical sponge, but many hobbyists add carbon or use a Polyfilter inside.

[houtty21]

[ecoxotic1]

@houtty21 They will be back in stock later this week!

[dominodude007]

so is there is a 5 gallon is there a larger variety of this aquarium?

[ecoxotic1]

@dominodude007 We currently only offer the 5 gallon model.

[rrey0456]

Ok so the betta WILL survive in there with the coral it does not have to be salt water or n e thing?

[ecoxotic1]

@rrey0456 No - a betta will survive in a Freshwater aquarium, coral only survive in a saltwater aquarium. If you want a betta, the Ecopico works great - just set it up as a freshwater tank.

[rrey0456]

This would be my fish time ever owning a fish, fish tank or reef but 1 question would I be able to put a betta fish in this setup?

[ecoxotic1]

@rrey0456 Hi - Yep, these will work great for betta fish!

[AJFBABYY]

what would a person need to create a stable saltwater aquarium on top of the stock Ecopico design?

[ecoxotic1]

@AJFBABYY It depends on if you set it up as a heavily stocked coral tank or more of a community tank. A basic marine tank does not require anything else. If you want to grow more corals, the only additional items would be two additional 12K/453nm Blue LED strips and a splitter.

[sk81514]

what filtration and supplements do you use? please help.

[ecoxotic1]

@sk81514 Hi, the tank includes a filter system and we do not add any other supplements. We just suggest doing frequent water changes.

[drunktankdan]

soo cool and such a good value.  a complete 5.1 gallon reef kit for 150 bucks? As a teacher I am very tempted. Do you guys offer discounts for educators?

[drunktankdan]

how many gallons is the tank? I am thinking about buying one. what are the dimensions. . .i couldnt find it on your guy's website

[ecoxotic1]

@drunktankdan Hi, the EcoPico is 5 gallons and has measurements of 10"x10"x12".
