What kind of substrate do you use for your mangroves, how much flow do you have for them too?

It's pretty much a mix of all the sand and mud ever used in my reef systems (24g, 54g, 65g, 165g, 110g) so there is a pretty large range in particle size. We ended up loosing half of the mangroves from the transplant, once these things root you should never move them.

Flow through the manrgrove system is pretty slow, don't know the exact amount as my return plumbing is split between that and the sump but I would estimate between 2-5X turn over for the 60g tank per hour.

I will be ordering a bunch of pods again from my guy, anyone in need of some?

Best part about sharing a tank with a relative is the random surprises you come home to, for example a new Achilles Tang

!

Happy to say he is parasite free, eating and getting along with the rest of the group. This brings me us to a total of 5 tangs so a chevron is no longer in the mix.

I will snap some photos tonight.

My quest for the Candy Apple Red is finally over! I should be receiving a frag of it along with a Sunny Delight and a Captain America Paly via Paul at Oceanic.

Gahh took long enough, I have only been searching for 3 years now.
