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?
