Aquascape looks good!The rest:
The set up (for now)
Macro-algae tank (minus macro-algae)
The mangrove propagules have leafed out
Sump: maybe a big cryptic zone? Any other ideas?
If I get really desperate…
After I got back from winter break, with really not much other algae in the system, the Ostreopsis dinos have come back. Not thick, so I’m curious to see if I will be able to knock them back by bringing in more biodiversity.
Thanks.Aquascape looks good!
Thanks for following. I think it’s fun, too. We all know how a reef should be done…I’m more interested in how a reef can be done.This is fun! I'm excited to follow along.
Plating Monti far too under appreciated but I’m still getting it. Nice tankSounds like my tank, which is a nano. I also run no GFO, carbon or any other media. I have a skimmer though (a $20 Amazon special). This along with a bunch of Xenia in the sump, live rock and even the corals are the only filtration. Oh and water changes too which I really don’t count since I do them once in a blue moon. Keeping it simple and natural. I don’t hate your tank, I love it.
Oh, I always need luck.
This photo in a book somewhere in the 70s the introduction for me to reef aquariums and don’t recall it being called reef anything. Nothing wrong with going native. I’ll be following along. Best of luck although I’m sure you won’t need it.

On Weds, I have some C. prolifera, Halimeda, and Red Gracilaria showing up Weds. Once that stuff settles in, I will add more types.What a fun project! What macroalgea are you thinking about adding?
Likely hypotrich ciliates - Euplotes is one genus of these that is often used in larval rearing/aquaculture.Something else interesting I saw under the scope. Looks like a little larval bivalve of some sort. Saw several of them actually:
Interesting. I did see structures that I thought could be cilia. They do look a lot like the Euplotes images I’ve looked at. These had what appeared to be a hinged ‘shell’ that opened and closed (they looked like Pac Man when they moved), but I’m having trouble finding anything showing that structure on Euplotes.Likely hypotrich ciliates - Euplotes is one genus of these that is often used in larval rearing/aquaculture.
