About 26 hours after setting the pico macro tank up! So far so good, clearing up nicely and already tons of life coming out.
Evaporation is really slow so far with the included lid. Only had to top up 10ml overnight. Parameters are looking good and I’ll continue testing daily till I feel the macro has grown out.
Quick AI Prime 16 question for a new reef tank.
No corals yet — just copepods and clean-up crew.
I’m trying to keep the light low to avoid algae, but still make the tank look good.
Thinking:
RB 25 / B 25 / W 5
Everything else 0
5–6 hours/day
Light about 9–11” above the water
Is this a good starting point, or would you run it differently?
Macroalgae love
