So i was putting my mangroves around my big rock and was thinking how cool it would be if i could have another plant on the rock too. I did some research and found the air plant. It doesn't need soil or watering, all it needs it to be misted and I already do that with the mangroves. So I am thinking of ordering a few just to test out. My only concern is how it will deal with the salt, but i would think daily misting would keep it healthy.

Today I decided to change the placement of the wave-makers. I think this new way will prevent dead spots better. Also I organized my power strip.

This tank has been real fun so far and everything is doing great and growing great
All I have been doing is a weekly water change and i have mangroves and cheato growing in the back. Feed every day a variety of frozen foods.
