17g Mangrove Reef Tank UPDATE: It's Growing Wild!

Enjoy this full update on my 17-gallon mangrove tank / macro algae tank / soft coral setup! It's been a while since the last update, and there have been major changes, new growth, and one sad goodbye. Unfortunately, Wasabi-maru (my Green Spotted Pufferfish) decided to go carpet surfing 😭 -- totally my fault. But through my time with him, I realized the Green Spotted Puffer is actually a great candidate for a marine macro tank -- even at full saltwater salinity! In this video, I walk you through: 🌿 How the red mangrove is turning into a full-on mini tree 🧽 My current maintenance routine for keeping macro algae and soft corals happy 🐡 Lessons learned from keeping a puffer in a reef-style setup If you’re into mangrove aquariums, macro algae displays, or chill soft coral tanks, this one’s for you. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and follow along as this little mangrove forest keeps evolving! 🔹 Products Featured: Yellow Aquarium Gloves – https://amzn.to/4bXmFVz 🔹 Video Chapters: 0:00 – 💀 Sad News...
