Beautiful work Brad. Love your preference for a more balanced light temp, looks so natural while still showing great color.

Do you have them secured upright when floating like in a floral arrangement sponge or suspended by wires?

The pictures aren't working? That is odd, it is a combo of photobucket and flickr hosting; are you accessing the site from a work computer that blocks photos from there? They are all working from me and I logged out of all my accounts.

What is your email? I can send a file via wetransfer.
Never got a chance to make a new video over this past weekend, but can send that 1 minute clip.

nice half dome shots. Last September I spent a week in Yosemite backcountry. Did 120 miles of hiking in 7 days. Awesome, but had much less water than this year. None of the major waterfalls had any water in them. I got a little thirsty, LOL.

We had a solid winter, the waterfalls have been incredible this summer. I was up in the Mammoth Lakes area this past weekend and they still had massive waterfalls feeding the lakes with snow melt.
Did a solo trip with the labradoodle. 120 > 395 > 108. Ended up turning around on 108 due to crazy weather and camped 2 nights around the Mono Basin. Goal of the trip was to get her in as much water as possible lol.

I picked up a 40b at Petco during there dollar a gallon sale with this tank being the sole inspiration. I am hoping to do something that is similar to your tank Brad. I hope you don't take an offense to it, lol. I have been looking at this tank and talki nf to my wife about it for over 6 months and finally got her on-board with letting me have another tank, I just hope I can do it justice. Just out of curiosity do you have any advice you can throw my way as far as depth for the mangroves or possibly the best way to start them out so that the thrive? I'm not gonna rush it because I want it to turn out as nice as possible. I have been doing as much research as possible on placing them in an aquarium but I was wondering if you had any tips for building the tank with the mangroves being the centerpiece... thanks a lot either way my man. Keep up the beautiful tank and hopefully one day I will have one that I can share that is half as beautiful as this one. GREAT JOB MAN

He's got another thread for a mangrove tank, if you haven't read it yet, he goes into a little more detail on substrates to get the mangroves growing well along with his plan to start off fresh water to speed up growth and eventually make a slow transition to sw. I plan on using that as inspiration for a puffer and mangrove tank. I'm going to start fw with bb puffers and once the mangroves get some decent growth in going to replace the bb puffers with green spotted puffers, that way I can transition both the puffers and mangroves from brackish to full sw.

I have kept a school of 7-9 chromis in every single tank I have ever owned, and I switched out fish a lot too. For instance I feed a lot, and they get too big, so I’ll catch them all and rehome them, do something else, then usually end up adding another school of them. Did this in 60 gallon cube and 93 gallon cube. NEVER had a problem. I see people ask this question all the time and to me, it blows my mind. I think they are the easiest fish on the planet. Never ever had one die. And I don’t even understand how they could kill each other. When they fight it just looks like they are kissing, zero damage done. Maybe people aren’t keeping them in big enough schools. But I have no clue. My 60 cube was PACKED too, so there was not a ton of space:That's a bit sad/depressing. Based on some other threads, I was hoping that your tank would be big enough that they wouldn't do that.
