SeaFurn Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 20 hours ago, This guy is extra salty said: BTW @SeaFurn the two mangroves in the front were from you they’re literally growing like weeds it’s been 4months? That’s so awesome! I’m glad they are gonna be in this tank and have been growing for you. This tank is going to be amazing! 9 hours ago, This guy is extra salty said: I am still worried about the mangroves since they can be temperamental when rooted and replanted. You’ll know quickly. I’ve heard the leaves may fall off if they get stressed - but I’m no expert. Remember to mist the leaves off with RODI regularly. I just repotted my 6 in Carib Sea Eco Complete planted aquarium substrate. Still in fresh water. Hoping to see some progress in their growth. Will hit them with some root tabs in a week or two. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes they have been growing quite well I think it could be the korallagoon substrate, all seven of the mangroves were rooting something fierce I had to cut a few away from the rocks. i spray the leaves and part of the stalk every other day mostly whenever I see an accumulation of crystals. You have to let me know how you like the ecocomplete substrate. Mainly pros and cons. Quote Link to comment

Looks like you got a good deal on those pretty frags. 1. “Weeping willow” leather 2. orange Montipora setosa 3. Bali green slimer acropora 4. mint seriatapora (birdsnest) the ole lady chose them 😂 I think she wanted a budget tank so she could spend money on coral.. I think she did the same thing in last year’s contest. 6 Quote Link to comment

If only all coral would grow like that, with a “swish and flick” Lol thanks 🙏 the stax rock is amazing to work with and many combinations. If I had a choice I would fill up my RS750XXL with stax 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment
This guy is extra salty Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 As I sitting here staring at this tank. I’m actually glad I’m making it a ULM tank. I literally have it as a “set it and forget it” i think the bacteria cycle hit me hard today I have to stop by a LFS tomorrow to meet up with a friend to get one of my frag racks back from the frag swap (say that 3x fast) 😂 I’m still in the fence on what I should stock it with. I would love to have some acros or maybe some encrusting montiporas. I’ll have to ask some locals if they have anything that would be worth putting into this tank 3 2 Quote Link to comment
The Rainy Day Aquarium Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Dang. I think you waved a little too hard there buddy 😂 It's looking good though! +1 for encrusting coral. I think that would look awesome in there! 2 Quote Link to comment

This guy is extra salty Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 So since the start of the cycle I was pretty sure the macros would probably die out due to lack of nitrates.. I have never been so wrong. The culerpa paspaloides and caulerpa prolifera are growing quite well i think it might be time for some tester SPS🤔 4 Quote Link to comment
