Those seahorses sure are fun to watch. Tank looks great too!

Ladies have always ruled. Articulating eyes. I wonder what Adam called it in the Garden. Maybe, it was enchanting lips.
Ckss, I have enjoyed following your tank thread. Keep it coming. Patrick

Enjoyed the video. The contrasting of greens and reds are very nice. What is the dark macro that the ponies use as a hitching post, on the right side of the Gorgonion/Macro Island? PSS. It looks like Codium https://www.marineplantbook.com/marinebookcodium.htm

I tried blue octode twice without success.

Try differrent texture in both green and red.
What green macro do you have on left hand Island with condiom hitching post? Consider adding Caulerpa Prolifera. It resembles a true marine plant, Oar Grass. It also resembles a fresh water plant, corkscrew Valanesaria. In the reds, do you have Gracilaria Hayi?

Grape Caulerpa would be a fast grower requiring frequent pruning in a high nutrient system.
Look at free guide from GulfCoast EcoSystem. Russ Kronwetter has put together the most pragmatic guide to macro. https://www.marineplantbook.com Check out color and texture at GCE.

That's a nice video Dawn, thanks for sharing! I love the tank background, but what I like most is the overall aquascaping. Your tank is quite beautiful!

Vlangel - Absolutely stunning tank! Love the aquascaping, macros and use of "negative space."

Now with such a natural aquascape the mural looks out of place to me. Thank you for the compliment though. |

GCE sells Hypnea pannosa, which is a nice, easy blue macro, if you're looking for blue.

Very nice! I love sponges. Tank looks good too. Such a cool variety of colors and textures, pairing plants with invertebrates! The tree sponge is a nice addition.

It took me a good long while with many failures to get my orange tree sponge to open and feed consistently and not degrade.
If your sponge stays happy I'd love to compare notes and see what our methods have in common. |
