hey Levi you us have much light over your mangroves I have 10 of them and it seems that some of them are like dehydrating sucking in or shrinking i have a 100w food light about 2 feet from them or should I take that off.

:lol::lol::lol:

Funny how that works, thanks for the compliment buddy!

I would pull it right back, almost sounds like your burning them. I have 4 24W T5's about 2 feet away from the tips of them, they get a whack load of ambient light though (From the sun and my other T5 fixtures). My brother has a 250W halide + Actinics over his 100 but it's almost 4 feet away from them and he gets some wicked growth.

I think he is winning in growth, GAHHH I CANT WIN!!!

Oh and Mike spraying them down daily with fresh RO water really seems to help them out.

Wow quite the grow op you guys got going there :). Wish I had the room for some mangroves.. But no, I had to go and install another tank.

The solution: Install another another tank.

Brilliant!! I did't really need a dining room table anyway.

Standard dining room tables are overrated. However, dining room tables with a centrepiece of mangroves and a plant grow light instead of a chandelier is, on the other hand, completely underrated and understated.

:lol:have I ever mentioned that you crack me up Tony......


On another note.....*wonders if it gets tiring hearing this, but*.....amazing pics Levi!

:lol::lol::lol:

Thanks Doug! I'm thinking of buying a new camera (Something like Kiens) if I can save up enough cash, then I can really put out some top quality photos.
