People say that damaging Mangrove tree roots can kill the seed pod. I'm doing an experiment to see whether this is true!

![The Best Way to Keep a Reef? 🌿 Low Maintenance Macroalgae Tank
A reef tank that looks like a freshwater forest? Welcome to the Planted Fluval Shaker. 🌿🌊
Most people think saltwater tanks are just rocks and expensive corals. In this video, I’m showing you my mature, 3.5-year-old macroalgae aquarium. It’s a perfectly balanced ecosystem that thrives on low maintenance and a unique marine plant aesthetic.
Why this tank works:
The Look: Using Dragons Breath and various macroalgae to create a lush, freshwater style scape in a marine environment. [00:39]
Fluorescence: Seeing the stunning orange glow of Dragons Breath even under white light. [00:47]
The Inhabitants: From a Singapore Angel to a Banggai Cardinal that thinks it’s a Clownfish, the biodiversity here is incredible. [01:30]
Low Maintenance: My secret dosing and water change routine—it’s much simpler than you’d think for a tank this mature. [02:49]
The Tech: Running on the brand new Fluval Plant 4.0 and Reef 4.0 LEDs. [02:18]
If you’ve been intimidated by the cost and difficulty of corals, macroalgae might be the perfect path for you.
