Yes I’ve definitely seen the benefits of a good copepod and amphipod population as well!+10 to getting healthy pod populations before adding fish. I have several differrent ornamental macro algae in differrent displays. Bortacladia, Halymenia Elongate and Gracilaria need weekly shaking to flush out debris/detritus, except in my pod tanks. All of the red macros in pod tank are looking good with pods at home in macro.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!Excellent Article
Looking forward to hearing what you do!Thank you for posting this. I am also doing some restoration work and have a few questions for you. I am on lunch right now, but I will get back with you later
Thanks! I think so too! LolAmazing!!
I really like what I do for a living, but I am starting to love your job more I think.The seagrass transplant is officially finished! Our main goal was to carefully and efficiently transfer the seagrass from the old tank to the new one without causing too much stress.
We placed fertilizer tabs (Seachem Flourish Tabs) throughout the sediment in hopes that it would help the seagrass make a quick recovery and remain healthy.
Most of the water was drained from the tank before we began uprooting everything.
Our goal was to keep as much old sediment as we could to try and keep some of the already established nutrients and organisms. Using both hands, I carefully pulled up a scoop at a time and placed the seagrass/sediments into a plastic container.
Each individual root intact was gently pushed down into the sand mixture and we continued to keep the three species separate. In this picture, turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum) is being planted in its section!
It was a little difficult at first, but we eventually got into a good grove re-planting the seagrasses!
Once all of the seagrasses were transplanted into the tank, Brandon started to slowly and carefully fill the aquarium with saltwater.
Keep following along to see tank come to life after all those fine particles settled ;Joyful
LOL I do have to say that my job is very rewarding and it’s nice to be able to do what I love as part of my job. It’s also really cool to be able to grow some very different, and sometimes very challenging, livestock. I’m glad you enjoy the things that I share on R2R!I really like what I do for a living, but I am starting to love your job more I think.
