I wanted to have a separate mangrove tank so I built this lagoon type table tank.I plumbed it to the main tank return pump.I T`d off at intake of pump so it acts like a venturi and refills simply through gravity to the same level as the main tank sump

I planted about 10 mangroves,only 1 survived whats up with that.
I also had 4 fiddler crabs that all were eatin by a blenny.Never thought that would happen till I busted him rippin off ones leggs,looked over when I heard splashing.Its a coral eating blenny,anyone want him.

Your tank looks fantastic! The growth is amazing. What kind of calcium /kalk reactor do you use?How much media do you go through?

I use a marinetec reactor and refill it every 3-4 months

How many stages is your reactor?

Dang man there is some serious colour coming out of this tank.

So what size is the main display?

What lights you using?

Looks like a blue or purple gigantea carpet in the pics from '06. Did you sell it or do you still have it?

nice stuff man!! Very nicely done.

This is without a doubt a Tank Of The Month!
