Those guys might have some ideas for the kind of stuff you want to do. I've been getting stuff from them for years for my fresh blackwater tanks. They sell mangrove tree roots that you could swap out that spider wood piece for. I love macros tho so totally following! Nice. I’ll check em out! 2 Quote Link to comment
cosmicbread Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I’m so excited to follow this build! I’ve lurked on your other builds forever. I’ve wondered about using wood in a marine set up... 1 Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Caught a cold (yes, likely just a cold) and given what’s going on right now with Covid-19 I’ve been staying home for the past couple weeks. So I’ve made zero progress on this tank. I think a lot of things are on hold at the moment. Very unprecedented times indeed. Stay safe, reefers! Another empty tank shot cuz that’s all I got. 8 Quote Link to comment

Hey man you're doing the right thing. Take it easy and stay safe. Wishing you the best. If anything this gives you additional time to create your best vision for the tank. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Ordered some LR from KPAquatics, so I’m mixing some salt in this holding container. First time ordering LR from them. Really excited to see what comes in! 8 Quote Link to comment

Looking forward to the rock update mate haha! How are you thinking of using the wood and rock together? You could end up with something really unique here. It helps that you guys in the US seem to be spoilt for choice when it comes to macro algae 😎 2 Quote Link to comment

Hopefully I can make it work. 🤞🙏 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Also got my KPAquatics rocks today! These pieces are solid. Solid as a rock. 🎵 Beautiful color on these and tons of interesting hitchhikers. Love that these are aquacultured and pulled straight from the Florida Keys. Though I still prefer to cherry pick my LR, I think I can work with these shapes and sizes. Would definitely order again. 10 1 Quote Link to comment
