leaf fish build!

no cuc yet for this tank yet. i dont have the fish yet so when im close to buying on i will order my cuc. right now i have 1 snail and tons of asterina starfish that i took out of my DT.

 

uh oh. dad said that the box is bent bad. im not too worried because the last package i got from john was packed like a sherman tank with newspaper and the like. he said it isnt wet so hopefully tha gracilaria is good.

 

everything is good and here are the pics!!!! idk what the last one is. any help there?

 

some one comment please. im begining to feel lonely. lol

 

leaf scorpionfish. related to lionfish, stonefish, and my personal fav, weedy scorpionfish. its poisonous and doesnt move much. max size 4 inches.

 

the last macro algae looks like Halimeda to me
great at removing nitrates if I am correct

I also liked picture 3 on the lighting options - but its a matter of personal taste

I like the third light picture.

 

yep its halimeda. i got it for a penny from john. is it hard to keep.

 

what light option would be better for growing my mangroves, halimeda, and red gracilaria? also, i am haing trouble with room out the top with my light fixture and the mangroves. will it hurt to raise them up higher so the mangroves can be left to float with the foam?
