Hi!
I wanted to showcase my greenhouse with 120 gallon saltwater pond. I set it up about 10 months ago using natural seawater and Australian Branching live rock from Unique Coral.
I use no filtration except for 55 gallon water changes every 2 weeks, sometimes less.
I use a 100w heater as the sun does most of the work for heating up the water.
I have an inkbird for control of temperature, for cooling there's a large fan that turns on for evaporative cooling. There is also a large inline fan for the greenhouse temperature plus a small greenhouse fan for general air movement for the plants. I also have Grape vines growing on top of the greenhouse for adding cooling.
livestock;
XENIA XENIA XENIA!!! They've quite simply gone bananas, and have become my primary source of nutrient export.
3 Mangroves
2 Azure Damselfish
1 Black Leopard Wrasse
Also some Halimeda
Shaving Brush Algae
I also have a 15 gallon bin with 11 Mangroves growing in freshwater, have noticed significantly more growth with the freshwater mangroves vs the saltwater.
Would love to hear peoples thoughts!
