Lula_Mae Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 What a cute little tank! Nice and simple. I like it! 1 Quote Link to comment
LazyFish Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 That looks so nice. Macros dont the get enough love. I love macros in the display. All my tanks have had some kind or another or sevral macros in them. You could add some dragons breath or some other red or purple for contrast with the green they are not so calcium dependand as what you have probly wont compete for the calcium. Its nice and simple and has a very natural feel to it. 1 Quote Link to comment

It hitchhiked in on the live rock, which is unusual since I have had those pieces of rock in my other tanks for years -some herbivore must have been keeping it grazed down. I dose kalkwasser in the ATO, so keeping up with the mineral demands isn't a problem. The coralline algae and the barnacle are the only other competitors for alk/cal. I try trim and back the halimeda every 2 months or so, mostly to keep it from shading out the palythoa. I have been eyeballing the ORA lemon damsels lately... I really want one, but I'm not sure that would be wise with the existing fish. 1 Quote Link to comment

Same, I had an angelfish that was keeping my halimed trimmed. After I got rid of him, the stuff popped up everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment
MortalWombat Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 I actually own 2 nano tanks. The other is a bonsai mangrove I have had for over 4 years now. It spent it's first year of life in a reef tank, and the mangrove ecosystem is just down the street from the reef, so I hope I'm not imposing by posting pictures of it here. It is one of my proudest accomplishments as an aquarist. January 7th, 2018: October 17th 2018: (After six months spent out in the backyard) 4 Quote Link to comment

MortalWombat Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Things are still cruising. The anemone moved more to the center of the rockwork, his first move in a year I would say. My mangrove tank has some exciting news. Looking in the tank the other night I realized the roots had cracked the pukani rock! 1 Quote Link to comment
