- Lots to unpack this week! First, I attempted to bonsai my red mangrove tree, I used this $15 Bonsai kit from Amazon (amzn.to/2Ebzm5e); next I bought some Brightwell Bio Cube (amzn.to/3asEhe5) and Brightwell Bio Brick (amzn.to/2Y9NAdY) for my tanks, hoping to boost surface area for the bacteria to help combat clouding. Finally, I bought some 3D printed nem guards for my MP40s & MP10, so far they have been working well. Hope you guys enjoy this long video!

Love the longer vids😂😂😂
Andy Sze heck yeah
Add two seahorses and a pipefish
when your favorite TH-cam uploads a 26 min video......Couch potato mode.
my exact thought lol.
Hahaha thanks man, happy to contribute to that couch groove!
if you want the plant to venture over the tank. adjust the light cause it will continue to try and grow where it an get more light
Thanks, I have moved the light further out to the other side of the tank! 👍
You really should not be sniffing those blocks, that powdered ceramic is going into your lungs and its never getting out
Oh man, I did not know that. Thanks for the education and I hope those Brightwell BIO Dust does as good a job at providing surface area in my lung as in my tanks. 😅
7:50 full update on the 175 gallon mangrove tank?😆😆 I guess that’s a look into the future.
Careful with the bio bricks and blocks: "aarons aquarium" (yt) putt in too much in the old big tank and had problems...
You could acclimate some sailfin mollys to the mangrove ;P
Hell yea baby a video thats almost 30 mins long. Next week 1 hour vid ok?
You should look into how to stimulate aerial roots in the mangrove “bonsai”. It would take time, but it could look really cool with a bunch of aerial roots dipping back into the tank and essentially making “secondary trunks”. Also, like others said, the light will be the limiting factor as it will want to grow towards the light. Maybe consider a strip light rather than a pendant light
Macro algae is good for seahorses and pipefish
@13:48.... Nice long bristle worm lol
It must take forever to upload these long videos.
Yes longer vids are fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯 awesome mangrove
hey kiddo that book must be delicious :)
Audio really quiet for anyone else?
ATI essentials pro is a very good two part!!
Do you still have your yasha gobies?
Longer format please.
Where do you get the mangrove
It´s Potassium what was missing
Tree death...stay tuned!
What filter is that?
Longer vids!!!!
Nice long video
The blue xenia is actually a cespitularia.
Yes sir, that is exactly it
I would like to know what is the sumpless ATO? I would like to get one for my 20 gallon for surface skimming thank you in advance
XP Aqua samples ato
Nice tank
One of my favorite parts of Sundays!
Definitely love the longer format, awesome tank
Looks like it is stretching for light, I would add a more powerful light with more spread or footprint
Longer format is much better !!!!?
I"ve been working on a macroalgae tank too!! Have you needed to dose nitrates yet? Or needed to control the phosphates? That's been a huge issue of mine.
I have been dosing CheatoGro from Brightwell 👍
@@InappropriateReefer Bought that last month thanks to you! :)
But no issues with your macro-nutrients? Nitrates and phosphates? Either I don't feed (my corals) enough and my nitrates tank or too much and phosphate goes crazy. But I have minimal corals and no fish so maybe I need that complete environment.
My xenias don’t pulse at all.. some actually died off. I have a 90 gal softie dominated. Everything else is super happy. What do you recommend dosing?
The ATI Coral Essential Pro works well for me and it’s just a 2 part solution, so not too many different stuff to deal with, I’d give that a try! 👍 honestly any dosing products that contain trace elements should work
Inappropriate Reefer thanks so much just ordered from marine depot
third
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVE FOR MACROALGAE... YOU LEARNING AND SHARING EDUCATES THE REST OF US PIONEERING MACROALGAE LOVERS AROUND THE WORLD BRO!!!...MORE POWER TO YOU AND YOUR OCEAN GARDENS!!!
A bit long for me but I did enjoy the deep dive into the macro tank. If I were you I would look into breeding rainbowfish. It's easier than you think and they actually spawn every day but your cleanup crew and other adults are eating the eggs. Pipefish.... always pick pipefish
second
Where do you get your mangrove pods?
The tree and two pods were from local reefers, the other pods I got from live-plants.com 👍
Awesome vid really enjoyed !!! Shopping vids always awesome. And them fragswap hopefully we can go tot them soon
I think people are calling them NP & MA Display Aquariums (Non photosynthetic & Macro Algae).
I think they are way cooler than reef tanks. Just have much more of a eco system feel
Any idea how wide the trunks on these get? I'm trying to incorporate some mangrove cutouts into my toplid and I want them to be appropriately sized. I was thinking 1" would be good, but I definitely would love to hear from someone who's been growing these in a tank
LOVE your vids, thank you for the Sunday fill and inspiration!
Keep bending the branches... you will feel the limits and if you get a little crack the wire will help it stay together and heal... make it anyway way you want it to be and if you want OT to grow over further keep moving the light
Did you just woke up when you were doing this video? hahahha look at the back of your head.. the hair is...hahahahaha anyway, good video man.
Remember plants always grow towards the light .......so you may want to start moving the light
After time do you recommend adding the bio cubes? Straight in to the tank? I will like to try it but I don’t know if that works or might cause problems?
Big inspiration!
I recently purchased some mangrove seeds. I stuck them in a tank and they have started to grow roots. Yea!!! Lol the problem im having is that they are not attached to anything. They aren't floating i have them stick between the glass and some barnacle shells. What can I buy to help keep these guys stable in the water? 2. Is there a cheap light I can buy? The mangroves have been living of off natural sunlight and the ceiling light. 🤦♀️
Thick, juicy, and dark red... just how I like it 😂🦉🍻
I am fairly certain if you were to bend it and break it just slightly it would actually grow a bulge over the broken part and be stronger than before - this tactic is used to strengthen stems for plants that need strong stems for high yields and heavy weights 😉
Gr8 video as usual , I had a red mandarin , in a similar tank with a breeding pair of gold band maroon clowns , my favourite 3 fish in the same tank , littered with Florida ricordia, looked amazing under blues, I was on the phone one evening working on the sump of the main tank , which was linked up to the clown tank , and was watching them chilling , all of a sudden with nothing near it , from the bottom of the tank the mandarin flew up n out of the tank , luckily I was there to save it , but it’s something I believe is common with these fish so maybe put a net over the mangrove tank if u do get one , but not sure wether pipe fish are jumpers
Why don’t you just use the Radion to light the whole tank like how Julian did with the hydra on his bonsai tank? You could also just sell the single xr30 and buy 2 xr15
I was having issue with Mangrove plants getting burnt under the reef light so I hung another light over the tree. 2 XR15s is tempting!
Hi I love your Chanel I have a question need your advice please. My old light on 15 gallon is Chinese brand now I just bough hydra 32 and want to give it a shot but worried the coral will shock so how I acclimate for the coral and for how long should be ok ????
First off ,yea nice to longer content..looking at getting a guard for my MP10 how can you tell if it is reef safe printed.. saw some on eBay but didn’t know if there was a difference in the materials? Thanks
Good day
I havent watch you other updates yet, but i have a question: when the mangrove will grow big or the roots will spread like wild , will the aquarium glass hold it oder will the tree break it after a time or will it grow to heavy for the aquarium?
Thank you for your answer
Can you link the light you use for your mangroves? Or do a video about basic mangrove set up! Love the sponge bob and your little boy is the cutest! Love the vid
Plants will grow towards the light. Moving the lights is a more natural way to encourage direction of growth. Beautiful setup!
He said 45 gallon tank lol
Old habit 😅
Definitely ordering some macros from the same place once the weather cools off some (it’s 100+ here in Texas and a death sentence to algae packed without water). Love this tank!
Can you provide info on where you got your red grape macro algae? Thanks.
Might need another light for the mangrove once it grows out one above the tank light and one almost above the tree but that’s in the future
hi, i used to trim some of my plants so whyle you curve the three i recomend you to cut the top so the branches start to grow a lot motheto the sides and much less to the top
Update on the 175 gallon mangrove tank? Where the rest of that water? Lmao
The brightwell blocks turned to dust in my system over the course of a year /shrug
I would advise against spraying water that close to the Radion.
The algae at the end of red grape looks like Ochtodes to me. Kind of a dark blue/purplish color and does look like chaeto sometimes.
You're probably going to need more light over the mangrove before too long, you've got a little forest going on, LOL
Plants grow towards light so move the light towards where you want it to grow.
Love the longer video as you have so many tips that you raffle off as you go! Also you're inspiring me to do a macro algea tank!
A dwarf seahorse would be awesome in the sweet 20gallon
guys won't the tree rot with all that stuff on the trang that is growing?
you do know bonsai means tree in a pot yeah :P
Great video, how old is it . I have one with only four leaves 🍃.
Great update. You are really getting a lot out of this tank. So much is going on.
Move the light so the tree follows the light source
I would move the light over quite a bit and they will grow to the light
The tree will grow towards the ligth so move the ligth it will follow
omg yeah!! mandarim fish for this tank would look amazing!
Why would anyone ever want to keep a mangrove tree, don’t they know what it grows into
That video was not long enough for me😁
23:18 may be it's graceleria. Is it attached to red grape algae.
Any idea where to find white mangrove seeds? The red ones are just sooooo big.
I can say that All-for-reef has made my xenia pulse aswell.
Great video buddy tank is looking good
What fish do you have in your mangrove tank?
I’m trying to find a light for a 25 gallon lagoon reef tank from innovative marine do you have any suggestions?
Btw the light is for a mixed reef tank
Ai prime, reefled 50 or 90 (red sea, its nice because is has shimmer) kessil tuna blue, or if your on a tight budget, mars aqua 165w
if you can afford radions i would get one radion xr30 gen 5 pro but they’re very pricey
Brandonez Doofenshmirtz do u think a single AI prime would be enough or do I need 2
One AI should be just fine for a 25g
what are those tiny fish in the mangrove tank? cool
thats just training a tree
Sniff Tests FTW loving the vids ❤️
You should do another live vifeo
I love this tank!
Did he say 175 gallon mangrove hahahahaha
Omg you have so many huge bristle worms aren’t they bad?
They aren't bad as they're scavengers. Great free clean up crew.
I don't trust the huge ones... so far the ones in my tank are probably still OK but I am not a fan, lol
Yess love the long vid man. Keep em coming
How old is your mangrove
Easier to raise the light !!!.
You need seahorses in the mangrove tank
Digging the crazy hair.
Look at alyssa seahorse savvy! She has captive bred pipefish and mandarins!! I get all my seahorses and coral from her!!
I am following them (local too!), thanks, I am keeping an eye out! 🤓
