I got a few pics.


In the full width shot you can see the thinned down Caulerpa on the back wall, the seagrasses have regained some height, after their haircut a couple weeks ago, and the macros filling in on the patch reef.


The Secret Garden.


Some defoliation but a long way to go. I think the only way to get rid of this stuff will be me choosing an herbivore to do it for me. I never thought I'd like to see a return of the Caulerpa Slugs until now…Or maybe I just learn to love it.


Close up of some 'Shrub Gracilaria' and the (possibly) Halymenia.


Obligatory end view. Note the height of the Sargassum. Taller! That's the one in less light. Also, with less Caulerpa on the back wall, the tank looks wider.


Front right corner of the patch reef.


Patch reef from the front. I'm pretty sure the Mangroves are dead. They're getting soft. I haven't decided what to do with them. I could remove them, or let them get overgrown with something.


Another view from the end.
