10 Gallon Nano Reef by a 12 year old

[Tristan]

I'm only 12 years old and I have a 25 gallon heavily planted freshwater and a 10 gallon nano reef that I've done all by myself. I turned off the pump to take the pics so that's why the green gold tip branching torch is closed up.

Looks good! Gotta ask though since i'm new, whats the point to the mangroves beside photosynthesis?

 

[Tristan]

Just for presentation and plus I wanted to see if I could actually grow mangroves. At first I had them under incandescents but then I switched to CFL's. Right now I have 2 10w CFL's on the tank but im probably going to get the Hobbie Bug Euphotica 16" LED soon.

I was thinking of adding some caulerpa prolifera for both nutrient export and for appeal

Gotcha! Looks good man
