1200 Gallon Lagoon Build Thread

[panic]

You can see the canopy a little better in the photos above. The radions sit in cut out channels in the canopy. We can slide them around if we need to target a certain area in the tank.

Cool idea, I can see it now. The video is really great too. I’d could just watch them do maintenance on that and be completely entertained. The shop is going to be a vacation destination

So far Julian Sprung has been successful in keeping mangroves long term. We are following his methods with this 9 year old mangrove that came from him.

Super vague answer and didn’t answer my question. What is the method?

Great video guys!

I'm glad you guys showed the gold tipped elegance in the corner....that coral is STUNNING in person.

Keep it up, you're killing it.

Are you trying to keep a mangrove without success? Julian's method is pretty simple, but includes 2 important factors: light and nutrients.

Lighting- We are using 2 Radion XR30 Gen 4 Pros over the mangrove that are set to deliver a spectrum that is more geared toward plants (less blue). If you want to know more about this lighting schedule please let us know.

Nutrients- We have a 10" sand bed that isn't touched which receives nutrients from constant feeding, aminos, and fish waste. We have a very aggressive feeding schedule in this tank.

I hope that answers your question.

It's a BTA. We are really taken back by the colors as well.

Hi, we used the 40lb bags of CaribSea Seaflor Special Grade Reef sand.

Can’t wait to see when the g4 are switched out with the G5

I could look at the photos of this tank for hours. The closer I look, the more detail to see. Absolutely amazing!

You guys should do a live cam feed of the tank so we can tune in from home and see it daily, would be a great way to pass the time while quarantined!

Hopefully this will be up soon as well.

Thank you! Do you have a guide/video etc on how you keep the sand so clean? I bought the same stuff for my rebuild!
