Great colors, great variety of macros and inverts, and a great rock-scape to boot! Your young tank already looks amazing.
I noticed that some of your macros are small frags. Did you buy those on eBay? I've tried a couple from there as well. I found that the small size made it difficult to succeed with them. With bigger plants, the plant can go through some die-off, while you figure out their needs, then recover and grow. The smaller ones are like a short fuse, giving you little time to keep them alive.
Have you had this experience? If so, how do you deal with it? Also can you share any insights into macro care that you have learned in your experience? What are your plans for macro care in this tank? Will you be dosing anything? Whatever you can share would be appreciated!
I've been pretty busy and just had the chance to clean the tank, do a Water Change, and took some new pictures!
Some new additions includes
- 15 Apogon Parvulus
- 20 Sexy Shrimps (up to 34-37 now)
- 3 Maxima Clams
- Banded Pipe Fish
- African Bluestripe Pipe fish
- Sea Apple (I'm feeding this guy 2-3 per day with Reef Nutrition PhytoFeast (Live))
awesome tank, love the color and diversity. I'm in the process of setting up a macro tank but i'm having a hard time finding the nicer macros. Would you mind sharing your source? I can't wait to see how the tank progresses.
Cool time lapse, Kataro! It is such a treat, visiting your thread, with great pics of your gorgeous macro tank. But it's much more than that, with a variety of inverts and fish as well. You've really stocked it well! Do you have any more additions planned?
I'm especially impressed with how well overall your tank is doing. Could you tell us more about your setup and methods?
