Davy Jones Locker tank

[tkyee98]

ARGGGGGG MATEY. Just wanted to share my macro tank made up of mostly dragons breath macro to show that macro can be just as exciting and pretty as corals. I call this 14 gallon Davy Jones locker since its full of flames and in my basement. I've also banished my nippy clown to this tank haha.

Lit by T5s and LED. Blue LED in the morning, T5s durning the day, then back to LED till the lights go out. On a 11 hour schedule
1 clown and a few snails
Feed every other day generously
Dose Brightwell aminos 5 drops every couple days during feeding time

Show me your macro/macro tanks!!!

Looks great....I'm sure the clownfish sleeps with one eye open

Very nice! How long have you had it set up? Do you think the macro algae is interesting/diverse enough to keep you engaged longterm?

I have had this tank up and running for about 3 months now and it started with just a few bunches of the dragons breath. Now the tank is almost half full so maybe another couple of months and it will be packed hopefully. I would like to try out some additional macro such as caulerpa, blue hypnea, and even maybe a mangrove. The flame red tips are amazing and I have plans of adding a wrasse as their behavior would look amazing swimming throughout.

Do you have this plumbed to a bigger system, or is it stand alone?

stand alone in a 14 gallon biocube. Nothing in the back chambers except for some filter sponges
