SaltwaterChris AWESOME tank again your zoa are amazing I only see one problem you don't have the tank at your house

Got a little nano for the condo but your right, just doesn't measure up to the big one.
 
Love the tank and beautiful colors:) My only advice is to block the grow light with reflector from Mangrove garden so algae does not grow in the DT. If you end up testing the trates I'd like to know the results of the input and output of the water.

I'm in early stages of monster build for next year and tanks such as yours are inspirational. Until then, I'll keep dreaming of my 400-500 gallon DT in the man cave:) Wife just keeps on insisting we have other priorities in our new house before I move to the reef tank project. Been without a reef for almost 6 months but still trolling the site often! Keep it up and subscribed!
 
I like a lot nice set up, love the floor cover with zoa's.

I'm contemplating swapping it out with something a bit less "intense", I get rings in my vision every time I'm down there for an extended time period. Would love to put some LED fixtures there but I have no idea if they will grow mangroves. My nitrate/ nitrate and phosphate all currently sit at a whopping zero, I feel the mangroves help but a majority of the filtration is from the liverock, live sand and skimmer/ water changes.

When you start your build you should shoot me the link, always interested in a monster like that!

It's been a while so I will just photo dump everyone, enjoy.
