View Full Version : ATS in a Pico - feedback needed.

I have a 3 gallon pico tank & I'm thinking of trying an ATS for it. As you hopefully can see from the photo below, it has an open refugium area in the back, approx. 8" x 2". I'm thinking of hanging a small (roughly 6" x 3" ) screen vertically over the refugium, with a small pump drawing water out of the refugium & onto the screen; the water would then naturally drain back in to the refugium. A light could be mounted on the back of the tank, but due to the size restrictions of this small area I'm limited to a rather small bulb & fixture - perhaps a clip-on 13w refugium light. Any feedback on the idea before I get started would be appreciated.

As you can see, I'm currently running chaeto and a submersible light in there, but I'd prefer something that worked better.

It would work.
