Oh no, what will the effect of tanin acid into the water? I have lots of leaves drop into the water.. Actually not leaves but those covering the leaves before the leaves open up..
In my sump there are plenty..
Normally they are hardy. But you have to constantly spray water on the mangrove leaves as it contains salt. I spray them every other nights to prevent them from dehydration.
Beware of grape algae. your tank may crash if they go asexual. Try chaetos, they are hardy and dont go asexual. I have 30 mangrove and a bundle of chaetos, my water always below 5ppm.
Of couse with the help of my skimmer and ozone. I have many fishes and feeding them daily.
Sudden change of environment will cause your corals or fishes to react. Naturally. And this will stress your livestocks. Try adding T5 or blue flourescent lights and have them turn off 1hour before your main lights off.
Ming,
You must wait till dark and they will eat those aiptasia. Last time, I didnt see mine eating, but next morning those aiptasia were gone one by one.
Now just bought new ones, hope they will eat them like the last time i had.
Not only you... i believe there are many.. but rea sea shipment is now banned.
So time being no such fishes here unless someone get from US those tank breed one.
