"looks like the Caulerpa Floridana grows the slowest.
What do you think?"
Actually it grows just as quick as any other caulerpa species - it just decides to randomly die off in certain sections and grow in other directions...
---------------------------------------------
"What happened to those red species you had way back, I don't see any in the aquascape?"
Any red species that go into my tank end up turning green and then clear - and then they die ...I believe it is either a lighting problem or an iron deficiency.

"Do you need detectable nitrate and phosphate for healthy growth?"
No. I have never seen a reading in any of my tests...
---------------------------------------------
"Wow, beautiful tank. How often do you have to prune your algae? Also, how do your fish do in this type of tank?"
Thanks. I prune about once a week or so. The fish seem to do great - I went with a bunch of small, peaceful fish, so I really don't see any aggression - besides the shrimp gobies warning others to stay away from their hole :] And all the fish aren't shy being no larger fish in the tank, so in one sitting, you will see ALL of the inhabitants.
---------------------------------------------
"What are your water quality parameters?"
The past times I've checked - nothing registered (nitrates, phosphates, etc.) but I will check again Saturday or Sunday and post 'em up here :]
----------------------------------------------
I will be able to update everyone with new pictures this Sunday :] Do you want to see more full tank shots - setup shots - or inhabitant shots?
