They grow way too big for a pico tank. You'll have to trade him back when he does. Quite clumsy too, knocking everything over in it's path.

I upgraded the filter yesterday. I had a 30g hob filter, and now i have a 55g hob. I am using all the same media.

Through out this whole thread i was thinking what about the skimmer. Im guessing its just to small to need a skimmer?

Water changes will be the main form of nutrient removal, often such small tanks really have no room for a skimmer and such a small skimmer would do next to nothing, so water changes are used instead.

There are a few nano skimmers. The biggest problem is finding one that actually works...
I have such a big filter for the current.

Another local place I discovered while looking over CL. He seems to have some very interesting stuff. My cousin and I are going to check it out one day soon.

That tube anemone needs to be in the sand. It needs sand to maintain it's tube. Don't expect any fish to live with it either. Mine ate fish as large as 5".
