    The new EcoPico from Ecoxotic is one sleek pico coming down chimneys around Christmas time. Before I go into details here, I want to formally welcome Ecoxotic to 3reef as one of our latest sponsors and mention that one of you lucky 3reefers will be winning one of these very soon right here at 3reef.(Details soon) That said, the EcoPico comes complete with a 5.1 gallon rimless, beveled glass aquarium and an equally beautiful 8 watt LED fixture with 12k white and 460nm actinic blue LEDS. There is also a filter and a 80gph pump for nice turnover rate. All that for an MSRP around $100! More details and pics below. Welcome to 3reef Ecoxotic!

    EcoPico

    Simplicity All In One

    We’ve all wanted an aquarium, but the same thoughts cross our minds – they are a chore to clean, they don’t match the décor and everything looks cheap. We went back to basics - emphasizing minimalism and simplicity. The result is an elegant glass cube that’s truly inspirational, simple to set up and maintain.

    The EcoPico - a whole new aquarium lifestyle where everything is surprisingly simple.

    The EcoPico looks great from any seat in the house, thanks to what it’s missing. No plastic frame, no bulky filter and no rain gutter shaped light. Redesigned down to the essential elements, this rimless aquarium system will turn any aquascape into a piece of art.

    Essential to the simple design is the ultra-thin LED lighting arm. It’s sleek and lean, yet produces stunning color and brilliant shimmer. A blend of blue and white LEDs cast the perfect color spectrum while using minimal energy. Best of all, there's no lamps to replace, no mercury going into landfills and the LEDs do not promote unsightly algae, making maintenance a breeze.

    Sweet pico tank. Very sleek looking.

    Would this be a good starter tank? One of my friends wants to join the hobby, but does not have much money to set up a tank...He just wants soft corals.

    That's a sharp looking tank!!!!

    I would think a larger nanocube would be easier for a newbie to learn on but that's just my opinion.

    It's ok... I mean the photos are definitely photoshopped so I am curious to know what its actually going to look like with the filter.
