I will post a tank photo of mine later, it’s crystal clear and clean without filter.

Do halocaridins in your breeding tank breed year-round? In my home they only breed from May to July

Excuse the dirty salt marks in the glass, this is my 140L breeder, yes they breed all year around.

Grazie, I see a power wire, is it for heating, if so, what temperature do you have them at?

25 deg C

Under the macro algae are ceramic caves and large piles of lava rock. In the middle is a large rock of ocean rock.

Hi solomalawi, what's the algae in the middle? Is it hair algae? How did u get it to stay in the center of your tank like that? Won't it eventually spread everywhere?
