:blink: thats amazing.

perhaps you could start a marine planted tank theme. you can't imagine how much people wanted to have a setup like yours but cant.

:thumbsup:

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

still trying to setup a planted tank to take care of my excess posphate and nitrate. I guess my setup is really laden with nutrient as various algaes are growing up. I only added the caulerpa but the rest just appeared from liverocks including the ulva,

Here is the FTS, nothing special just want to enjoy the hobby but not spending too much.

Interesting setup. Reefing without spending too much is really hard to do. Have fun!

It's interesting how the macroalgae was able to thrive while microalgae not able to take a foothold. Loads and loads of green bubble algae! wacko.gif

"Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend..." - Lei Siu Lung (Bruce Lee)
