    Please excuse the mess...lol I weeded the extra macro out yesterday and didnt wipe down the water that ran down the side of the fuge yet...as you can sorta see...my fuge is living proof that Mangroves can be planted completely under water and they will grow fine :)

    absolutely stunning, your very first tank? well it is flourishing. you clearly are a great tank keeper and i am glad to see all is well. may i suggest however, adding a more focal point fish? all of your fish seem to be on the smaller side and personally i see room for improvement. perhaps adding another tang. your sail fin is great, but perhaps a hippo tang would bring out the best in your tank. all in all 9/10.

    I had unsuccessfully tried 4 hippo tangs :( they get to be expensive and just dont stay alive in my tank for some reason...but my Chevron is probably the best focal fish your gonna see..lol Its color is absolutley amazing..and even more Purple than before :)
