[APD] Marine planted tank pictures coming



I must say, the Marine tank has really bloomed.
It takes a long time to get the rocks covered but once they do, the plants take off.

I think most of you will not believe that this is a marine planted tank, they are no other organisms except plants in this layout.

The design is more suited to keeping numerous species in a somewhat decent layout.

Some very nice plants that you will not see often:

Dasya, the long furry red algae 
Heterosiphonia, little red balls of fine divided/furry puff balls
Neogoniolithon, red coral like algae
Neomeris, green "fingers"
Batophora
Dasycladus, "furry sauages"
Lobophora
Anadyomene

Caulerpa's:

paspaliodes variety: fine leaf
      "              "   :             "Giant" Caulpera

These are both very neat looking.
             
cupessoides
prolifera
lanuginosa
raceamosa
verticillata

Udotea,
Avrainvillea
Dictyota
Sargassum
Dygenia
Chondria

Ball forming Algae, I have two of Cladophoropis(These are lighter color than Caldophora balls in FW and more course filaments, like a fiber scrub brush).
Acanthophora
Laurencia(2 ssp)
Cymopolia
Actetabularia
Padina
Eucheuma
Gracilaria
Rhipocephelus
Penicillus 2 species
Halimeda 2 species
Champia
Ceramium
Wrangelia
Hypnea
Botryocladia
Jania

   There are more, but this is a partial list of the fun stuff. 
I need more light I think to keep it in real good shape.

I like the design, it rivals reef tanks very well and I've never seen anything even close to this anywhere.

Maybe I'll put it in the AGA/ADA contest next.

I'm curious as to Amano's views about this tank style/method.
