Nicks 120 Gal work in progress

[nrosdal]

So, my fuge has been sitting with some cheato and a mangrove in it not doing a lot for quite some time now. So i made a little (or big) upgrade from a 42watt cfl clamp on light to a 70 watt S2 Refugium LED pictured below: (and ordered up some mangroves, since i really like how the one i had was doing and looked).




Shortly after the mangroves arrived and the roots started growing out of control in a matter of a week i decided to spread them out and split up the cheato in hopes to have the fuge bottom/sand covered in cheato(in between the mangroves) as to stop and nuisance algae from forming around edges as i have had in the past with just a ball of cheato in the middle.






It has only been like this for a few days now and the cheato is spreading out well. It seems as though i will have bottom fully covered by the weeks end.
