Display macro algae tank

[Brokereefer603]

You know out if all my tanks this is my favorite. Something about it looking so natural. I can spend hours in front of this one. Nitrates at 20. Phosphates 1.0
Anyone else have a display algae tank ?

Yes quite a bit... I dose 2xs weekly with nilcogs thrive + it has all the necessary macro and micro nutrients the + is more iron than in a regular bottle. I also feed very very heavily 3xs a day to keep with the nitrate and phosphate uptake. Water change is once a month. With waste water from the rodi

This is easily one of the coolest tanks I've ever seen. Really like the color and it must have some great movement too. I love seeing different ideas executed so beautifully.

Very nice! A had a 50 gallon lagoon at one point. Easily one of my favorite setups. It's really easy to get carried away with the idea that a tank full of coral is the only way to go. Salt water planted tanks are awesome!
