Acameron2's little mangrove patch

[Acameron2]

Hey, my name is Anthony. And I guess it's time to start up a thread for my tank since it's finally taking shape of what I'm happy with. I've spent most of my time shaping the mangroves with this tank. The ultimate goal with my mangroves is to achieve a bonsai shape and keep my tank as simple as I can. I guess you can say I like to keep it old school or at least pretty simple to maintain. Below are details of what my little mangrove patch consist of

Lighting
24" ATI sunpower 4 bulb T5
24" reefbrite blue tech led strip

Filtration
Intank media basket w/ filter floss, purigen, chemipure blue

Flow
Ecotech vortech mp10 wireless quiet drive

Automatic top off with smart aqua micro system.

Dosing is done by hand with the big three Alkalinity, Calcium, magnesium from BRS

A decent pic I took of my Rastas. This is the product of my first ever attempt at fragging. I originally just took 3 polyps from a large colony awhile back.
