brad908 January 27, 2015 Author Share January 27, 2015 (edited) Have some stuff from ERC coming at of the end of the week. Can't wait! On the cyano : I wasn't running the wp10, I had 4 fish and no clean up crew, and I was busy with a lot of travel from before thanksgiving till last week, so maintenance was practically 0 Good luck to everyone in the storm!

YHSublime January 27, 2015 Share January 27, 2015 Wow, good to know. I wonder what it would do with corals in the tank? Snow is coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad908 January 27, 2015 Author Share January 27, 2015 Wow, good to know. I wonder what it would do with corals in the tank? Snow is coming! Rehype recommended to use it, and he used it on a fully stocked tank. His most recent FTS. I think chemi clean is safe for a stocked tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpallas January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 Very cool. I've been following the same guy on Reef Central as well. He's a good bonsai artist. I've been growing 6 mangroves in a refugium setup for about a year now and it is slow going. Just started to develop some ramification. I've read that growth rates are significantly slower in SW than FW. I'm going to try to acclimatize one of the trees to FW this Spring and set it out in a muddy pot for the summer to see what kind of growth I can get.

I need to start pruning mine. Staring to grow too high. This weekend I am gonna look into creating a rain ato that will also clean the salt off the mangroves.

YHSublime February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Nice. I need to start pruning mine. Staring to grow too high. This weekend I am gonna look into creating a rain ato that will also clean the salt off the mangroves. That sounds like an awesome idea. I'm going to try mangroves again in the new tank, hopefully I'll have some of your success with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 I have debated trimming mine... i have had them for 2 years.. but they are slooow growing... especially with my limited lighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad908 February 6, 2015 Author Share February 6, 2015 (edited) That sounds like an awesome idea. I'm going to try mangroves again in the new tank, hopefully I'll have some of your success with them. How did those ones I gave you end up doing again? I know they weren't in the best shape since they went through some serious neglect before giving them to you. As long as you keep the mangroves salt free and have decent light, they will take off. I have debated trimming mine... i have had them for 2 years.. but they are slooow growing... especially with my limited lighting The combo of this 70w halide and no clean up crew/dirty water are making mine grow like crazy. Lighting is key Edited February 6, 2015 by brad908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 They all ended up close to dead, and then I gave them to somebody else, who I think lost them. They might as well have been in a trash bag when i took them out I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanM February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 (edited) Looks super nice. You going to have a challenge keeping that Mame overflow clean since it sits right under the lights, it seems. Edit: Actually, I think this one has a canister, not a sump, right? Edited February 21, 2015 by AlanM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad908 February 23, 2015 Author Share February 23, 2015 how long did it take before the bare shoots sprouted leaves? i've had mine for 2 weeks and nothing has happened. All these mangroves have been in the tank since the start. But they took a while to recover. I would say they've all been healthy for maybe 3-4 weeks now. Looks awesome Brad! Love the bangaiis chilling in the mangroves Thanks! You are the mangrove whisperer. dirty water and good light = mangrove success Looks super nice. You going to have a challenge keeping that Mame overflow clean since it sits right under the lights, it seems. Edit: Actually, I think this one has a canister, not a sump, right? Correct, these are just lily pipes to a canister. I am going to order a few extra cheap sets on ebay so i can have a clean rotation going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
