Amphiprion1 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Wow, very nice setup. It's an adeptly executed balance of both an artistic and naturalistic approach. I really like it. Do you plan on either adding more mangrove specimens or allowing the density to increase a bit? Also, that interesting species of Caulerpa caught my attention. From the initial pic, I thought you had a thriving little stand of Halophila seagrass. It really achieves the look of seagrass without a lot of the fuss. Honestly, the only advantage of seagrass I can think of (in terms of what it seems like you want to achieve) is that you could maintain the water column macronutrients at a lower level compared to the Caulerpa once the grass is established. Either way, well done. 1 Quote Link to comment

Either way, well done. I'll be adding my button wood to this and down the road I might add grass but I do like the caulerpa. we shall see.

Tamberav Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Congrats!! I was just showing your tank thread to my hubby yesterday. He was ooing and awwing over the bonsi trees at a botanical garden saying he would love to try to do some bonsi trees. Your tank is the best of both worlds! Thanks! spoils of that win-only thing is that on the mp controler there is a W on it does that mean I actually got the wireless version? Sadly.. no They all have W's but the wireless W lights up I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The RF chip if you want to make it wireless is like $45 I think. 1 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 For those following along, I'm not sure if this is the same variety as Giga's, but just in case anybody is interested in buying some: Green Mini Caulerpa Algae (Caulerpa brachypus) Edit: Well, it sold. I hope someone here picked it up. 1 Quote Link to comment
