My 75 gallon upgrade

[GOSKN5]

Well I upgraded from a 57 rimless to a standard 75.. drilled corner overflow..

My goal was to create some open space and a mostly clear sand bed.. transfered all rock from 57 and a cup of sand along with most of of he corals and fish...

I love the way it turned out... livestock includes:
Melanarus wrasse
Yellow wrasse
Swissguard basslet
Clarkii clown
3 red stripe cardinals
Pink spot goby and pistol shrimp
Skunk cleaner
Fire shrimp

Would like to add a yellow eye kole tang as my last fish...

Corals include a little of everything... flame algae and a huge clump of halimeda... some montiporas SPS few zoas and softies and some nice gorgonias...

A few FTS... will try to take some close ups of stuff later and post... thanks!

How are your mangroves doing just sitting in the water? Do you have long term success with them without being in a substrate?

That tank looks really nice!

They don't need substrate to survive... they have been growing great like that for about 6-8 months or so... the roots were barely there when I got them and each plant had one or two leaves.. they are getting less light in this tank than my last so I hope they do OK.. time will tell
