Thanks bro.
I not really into nutrient export by cheato and mangroves. Find them messy and troublesome. But I love the aesthetic look of mangroves, can consider them in a open top tank. Now I just put more live rock and bio media at former refugium.
I personally find mangroves not good at nutrient export, infact quite messy as leaves and roots keep dropping out. But can consider them for aesthetic value.
i wanted to achieve a clear transparent glassy look from the start so i do scrape off all algea from the tank even coraline. Most difficult are the algea that grows on the clear silicon at the joints. Now i know why many bros go for black silicon.
wah... king of zoas praise me. I feel proud.
one of the easier sea fans. look for it at ah beng's
Thanks guys for the kind comments, will update again much later when the sps grown bigger. Now, just collecting zoas and other small stuff. Don't wanna disrupt the rock scape.
