Had been keeping mangroves for quite some time. If view from the efficiency aspect, i do agree with AT that marine algae does absorbed nutrients at a faster rate than mangroves do. However, mangroves are not really slow absorber as the amount of new leaves developed = amount of nutrient absorbed. A mangrove ecosystem provide a totally different biotope altogether. The process of how the roots forms and grow, how it absorb nutrients along the way, etc also provides an immersely intangible educational value. A mangrove filtration system can be an unique and interesting display by itself. Attached is a link by Julian Sprung on the care of mangroves. Enjoy and have fun. http://www.twolittlefishies.com/documents/1100232022.pdf

Nice growth, bro.... Hope the mangroves serve ur needs... Have fun

My original plan was to make use of the indirect sunlight for my mangroves refugium. Somehow, the sump end up on the wrong side.. haha.. Currently using only a 20W PL light for their lightings need. Looking at the pods, shrimp, crabs and micro-organism darting around the mangrove aerial roots gives me the feeling of nature at work... Cheato are easier to grow but i am still attracted to the growth of mangroves roots, leaves and their formation and this gives me a feeling of standing by the coastline....

start with $15, bro..

Homefix selling the superglue gel.. should be $1.90.. just bought several tubes from there..

Can't agree more... I bet your pratas are not cheap given their unique coloration.. Anyway, Upzz for your sales...

Assorted brittle stars... cleaning crews are my favourite...

really love your coraline cabbage everytime i see it in your pics...

Very tempted to try out seahorse. Their graceful & elegant movement seems calming... 2 Qs bro, what do u feed them? They take frozen food?

Wah bro, saw some new stuffs in your tank...

You must have made enough from the market to retire, bro...

Aiya bro, i had actually give up on taking pics of my tank. My phone camera cannot seems to be able to take viewable pics... But cannot put all the blame on the camera la. One of the SPS is yellowish-brown milli, another one brown acro with green polpys, blue-tip acro with brownish body & purple acro.. All are the original residents. I am happy as long as they are growing. In fact, the milli in the background already had all the tips out of the water... interesting...Will be interesting to see how they continue to grow from there

Bro, all i can saw is that you are way too humble... With your ###### years experience in this hobby, your SPS venture will not be a problem.. My SPS are those easy to keep type.. not really need much of requirements..

Your starfish might be the culprit. haha... saw your star grabbing one of your mussels that day... Not really sure if he is the culprit though..maybe that fellow is just checking out his new tank mates...

Hi guys, Selling an 3inch Purple Tang ($40) and a 4inch Blue Tang ($20) All perfectly healthy and eating pellets/ frozen food...

current: 8 mths later

Looking back at the 3 small frag of SPS in tank pic 1 eight mths ago and comparing to the current pics 2 below. the SPS & zoas had really grown... got a sense of satisfaction. Guess this is why we are all still addicted to this hobby despite the hardcore work of maintainence.. 8 mths before....

You should have given me and save me some $$ from buying new bulbs.. your tank is where i get the inspiration from, bro. ..your tank's depth and the yellowish shimmering effects mimic just exactly like when u go snokering..

oh.. i c seems to looks like in the same rank as the SPS.. haha... If that;s a SPS.. must be a very nice piece...

Bro, u you view them at page 7 & 17 of my thread...hehe

Ya lor... bulb is bluish... Still prefer a more yellowish spectrum as it will appear more natural...

Thanks bro.... yeah.. the zoas had been propagating pretty fast.... One of my pioneer small SPS frag had also touch the water surface and protruding slightly out of the water already.. Don;t know how to deal with it though... Will take a pics & post one of these days..hehe
