I'm growing the macro algae inside all three glass....should look really cool once I'm done.....wish me luck lol....this 75 gallon tank it solely for MOHAWK and the macro algae is secondary and a home for pods to live in....

Uhh of topic, but I want that rock. Bi valve fabulous.
Zoo and Phyto feed the pods in the sys, and the Bivalves will thrive too.
My mandy and ruby likes the frozen rotifers and cyclops too

I'M SOOOO GLAD YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT FOOD.... it is official forks.... I got MOHAWK to eat mysis thawed out and soaked in garlic... I dose my tank with live phyto once a week or so....the pod population is high in the sump, the 300gal and the 75 gal.... all I need now is the macro algae to put in the glasses of the mandy fuge.... the rocks were shipped me by my step dad....he runs a shipyard.... and they make mountains of these shells that get stuck on the ships.... so try there and ask if you can get some rocks off a fresh mound....WARNING my dad says that the mounds stink like nobody's business. They were weird and gloomy looking so I went for them... I don't recommend them because they are super sharp and sometimes cut the fish went they zoom by them....I lost a fish that way.... I'm on the look out for one psychodelic spotted mandy that is just as fat as mojo... mojo really set the standard for me....cudozs to his owner....mojo is shown earlier in the thread.... none of my rocks are for trade or sale.... sorry....if you do find the rocks I recommend that you treat them for parasites and diease for ten days...as you know some are not going to make the transition....that is where my crabs come.... they love eating them so I won't have anything alive before long.... I just want Grimm jagged rocks in the tank any.... and the calcium they bring to the table of course lol....

I know right.....well I'm hoping to find a fat female and if things go down wrong I will create a divider.... as you can see I'm pretty good at coming up with something weird that works...

Why are you shouting?

ReeferReefer · May 3, 2016

On a more serious note... get some macro in there ASAP. Local reefers will often give it you for free. It doesn't need to be pretty.

I had an established tank, 2 years, 50lbs live rock. I went through sadly, 4 mandarins before I could train one to eat frozen. They are beautiful fish, I felt like I was killing them when they wouldn't eat. I couldn't keep my copepod population stocked to sustain them and a ruby red dragonet. My Mandy now lives in the seahorse tank with not a lot of rock and is thriving on frozen mysis and brine. He is taking it right from the baster. They are very stubborn eaters but once they do give in to the frozen it's smooth sailing!
