Arkayology Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Those cardinals really seem to like the mangroves. I bet they will like it more once they start to root. Link to comment
brad908 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 So clean. Good to see you're still in the game Thanks man. You making a comeback? Those cardinals really seem to like the mangroves. I bet they will like it more once they start to root. They never leave, except to go to the back of the tank where I left space between the big cube and little cube. I thought about filling it in, but he fish love to go hide and sleep back there I hope I see roots, but doubt it. The current roots are probably down like 3" from the top of the sand. Probably going to take a while. Link to comment
brad908 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Starting to put together the backyard. Not a bad set up so far. Fire to the right and mangrove tank to the left. http://s3.photobucket.com/user/ObeyHK/media/14D91891-E3BD-48B8-9AE3-A6E87464F3BC_zpsdcz3n3rc.jpg.html'> Link to comment

brad908 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 I need an ATO for this tank. Standard ELOS ATO setup Create a rain ato Benefits of a rain ato would be : clean the mangroves and it would be cool If I went with the rain ato idea, I would just buy a standard little pump and have it come on every couple hours for an undetermined amount of time (will start tracking evaporation loss) Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Rain ato sounds awesome man hope you go with it so I can see how it works Link to comment
brad908 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Rain ato sounds awesome man hope you go with it so I can see how it works Plan would be to get the smallest pvc available, make a rectangle, paint it the same color as the halide fixture, attach it to the bottom of the halide, drill holes into the pvc, run black vinyl tubing from the pvc pipe and down with the power cord of the halide. The main thing is that this is able to rain on each mangrove. I want to take out any manual spraying of the mangroves Link to comment

Mr. Microscope Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Wow! Can't believe I just found this. What a fun and unique build. Really looking forward to more. I'm sure you've already been asked and answered this question, but got any plans to add some corals in there? I could definitely see an acan or blaso garden populating that thing or maybe some anemones. (BTW, sorry to flood your notifications with Likes.) Link to comment

RollaJase Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Looking really good Brad . I'm glad you overcame the cyano issue, I'm battling it pretty bad at the moment after coming back from my trip. Link to comment
k4ndyk1ng Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 This tank is so cool. I don't know how I missed it, what are your coral choices? Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Did you commit to the rain ATO? The mangroves are looking amazing!! Link to comment
brad908 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Did you commit to the rain ATO? The mangroves are looking amazing!! Not yet. I've really gotten back into photography, so I've been driving up and down the California coast on the weekends This past weekend I was at Pebble Beach ProAm golf tourney, and was at Big Sur for sunrise Sunday morning. Hadn't been that far south yet, amazing. Link to comment
