Can't wait to see it with fish in, are you going with the Yellow Striped Cardinals? This looks awesome! Looking forward to seeing it grow and being progressed further. Thanks everyone. Ended up going with a nice size blue chromis and a few bangaii cardinals. Acclimated them last night, and looked good when I briefly looked this morning. Going to let the fish settle in, then look for inverts in a couple weeks. Link to comment
brad908 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Got cyano? Haha love this tank. The mangroves are almost fully recovered and really growing http://s3.photobucket.com/user/ObeyHK/media/3D274FE8-AD2D-4882-9732-36DD31D2EF56_zpsguewif4w.jpg.html'> http://s3.photobucket.com/user/ObeyHK/media/FA508738-C0E7-458A-8340-EDFBC2908713_zpsxshs5fyp.jpg.html'> Also really need to get that inline heater installed.

cnseekatz Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Looks great. It would be cool if you could build up a bit more sand and/or rock in amongst the mangrove stalks... so that it doesn't plateau. It would look more natural if the slope that you built continues up toward the corner. Just my two cents... but it looks awesome no matter what! A couple of clams would be legit in there! Are you planning on adding any corals? Link to comment
Markburns43 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Oh that is unique , I love plants incorparated into salt set ups, do you have to put tabs under the stems in the sand or are u dosing nutrients? Link to comment

Are you planning on adding any corals? Yea, there are a still things I want to finish up with the scape. I think I am going to do rock nem's and a ton of coco worms in the sand. Oh that is unique , I love plants incorparated into salt set ups, do you have to put tabs under the stems in the sand or are u dosing nutrients? I had really rich live mud that I planted the mangroves in. Plus I dump a lot of the skimmer gunk from my other tank in here every once in a while. Link to comment

brad908 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 One of my favorite tanks Forsure brad What's next for this tank? Exotic Reef Creations is sending me a box, probably this week. Not really sure what all is going to be in there. He knows I am looking for coco worms and flower rock nems. We will see. This weekend I want to go buy some clean up crew and coco worms. The idea is to bury like 4-5 coco worms on each side of the tank in the deep sand. Then put the rock nems all over the rock work. Link to comment
antsypants Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Wow, chemiclean went nuts x) gotta remember that if I ever run into some cyano. Can't wait to see the new additions! Cardinals look great btw Link to comment
