just a quick question for all of you: what kind of filtration would you recommend for a 2.5 AGA? might be starting a low budget tank just to get back into the hobby.

maybe you could say i shouldnt waste my time with that size and just start a 10 gallon? anything info would help.

thanks, T.

I used an Aqua Clear 70 on my 2.5. I modded it into a fuge. Check the DIY build thread sticky at the top of this forum.

picos are fun :)

size is not everything :p

but the aqua clear 70 seems to be the filter of choice for most picos.

I've got a mini-bow 2.5 and while it's a great size, definitely go with a HOB to free up more space in-tank for corals. And don't go over board on LR, I did go a little over board and now I want more space....
