Thanks @William!  I appreciate it.  Still got a lot to add and grow tho to get this tank in prime shape.  💪

That's a proper Caribbean reef! So crisp and clean!

Thanks!  I wasn't even trying to go for a Caribbean reef, but it does look like it's ending up there.  Lol.

Workin' it for the camera... poor thing probably just needed some change for college... All this to promote a duncan coral anyone interested would already buy, what are we coming to... For shame.
That last shot is beautiful by-the-way. (and you just had to call it a photo shoot <___>)

Dang that is a beautiful gorgonian in the background! 😍💕

 

Oh yeah cool fish too. And shrimp, I guess. Not that I'm biased or anything. 🙄🤣

How are your mangroves doing?

Surprisingly they seem to be doing OK despite not adding supplemental lights yet.  New growth and the leaves look full.

Have you been misting them with RO water? I read that that is supposed to help, but maybe it's only important in more mature plants.

Yup.  Every other day or so with RO water.

How is the maintenance on mangroves? Do they help with nutrient export? 

My understanding is they don't export much.  And I have a ton of macroalgae in here already.  I just water them with RO water a few times a week.  That's it.  If you want to see real growth, need to add some dedicated grow lights above them.  Something I haven't gotten around to doing yet, but I have still seen some growth on these mangroves (i.e., new leaves).  They sure are pretty though.  :)

great pic!

Thank you!  Love the splashes of green that the halimeda adds to the tank (tho I guess I have a lot of splashes of green in here even without the halimeda).

Man you got me thinking about doing something like that in my water box. It looks pretty awesome. :smilie:

You take the most amazing pics my friend. I am so envious of the photography that people have. My pics look like garbage :lol:

Do it, am going to do this on my 34 😄

Be interesting to see them in Saltwater (Previously Brackish) hopefully slower growth
