The peppermints have set up a cleaning station.

2 of the mangroves are putting on 2nd set of leaves. The third looks like its starting its 3rd set. All three look like they are starting to push out anchor roots

Growth looks like its picking up. The one on the right is pushing out 4 leaves. It's the smallest but it's far ahead in growth. The growth of this one seems to be more compact

Looking really good.

I am doing a tank/system upgrade. After I finish a new sump, I will go to the beach and pick up some more pods. I am thinking would like to have a mangrove in the DT when the new tank is setup or I might just leave the pods in the sump like I have done in the past

I removed a nem that had settled up next to the nepthea. I rwmoved it and decided it neede to be in the swamp.

the @noopsyche is about 3ft above the water all channels are 100%. I have no idea what the par is.

The bta is open and looking good.

I have the worst luck moving an anemone. I end up tearing them up.

If I can get a toothpick under the foot and spin it they release really quick

Mangroves are doing well. All but one is getting 3rd set of leaves. Once that happens the next set will be removed to encourage more of a bush like appearance.

Also added some feather caulerpa to help combat gha

I was given 3 with 1 leaf each i believe back in feb.
I planted them in tericota pots with about 2 inches of sand at the bottom, than a layer of organic potting soil (not the potting mix it very light and messy learned the hard way) than about 2 inches of sand.
