I also want to add a bunch of cool macro, once I decide what types.

Mine will be going in here. TBS is also sending me a few gorilla crabs for snacks. I already have a big pack of frozen krill and some silversides for it. Arrival date is set for March 5th. I'm super stoked!

That will be one happy murderbug.
I love the mangroves, that's a nifty little setup.

Awesome video! I've been searching curacaoensis but seems they are more rare in the regular collection spots for the FL vendors.

What other things are in the tank with murderbug?

 

[OrchidMiss]

I keep a couple different hermits in the tank in case Murderbug wants a midnight snack. There's also an emerald crab, a pair of astrea snails, and a middle neck clam, a small cerith snail or 2? All the inverts are in there as entertainment or snackies.

Does he regularly eat the snails?

entertainment or snackies.

I like to play with my food too.

He really leaves the snails alone, he much prefers little hermits.

I traded the XR15 G6 Pro on this thank for an AI Prime, and I'm so much happier.
Macro (dragons breath & codium) is doing much better with the light swap.
Considering a mangrove, so it's time to do some reading and research.

Howdy, Stranger! The lighting looks awesome. You'll need a much deeper sandbed for mangroves.

Thanks! That's a pretty easy fix.

Edit: could I use one of the AOI chambers? *don't judge my stupid questions*

I've seen it done before, but never used that method myself.

Are they getting a lot of their nutrients from the sand bed or is it mostly for remaining rooted? I'm sure you could change out their substrate every now and then (Fiji Mud? Miracle Mud? Aquaforest Lifesource?)
