Speak of the devil...(or think of it). In planning my new systems forthcoming, (can't think of much else lately
), mangroves occured to me last night. Talked to J at the LFS about them today and he pretty much said the exact same thing that Tony said. Take forever to grow, and really do nothing for nutrient export. I'm with Tony, however I think it'd be waaaayyy cooooollll to have some and am keeping it in mind just for that. I also read in one of the library articles that they like indirect MH light....ie: the light off to the side rather than right overhead. Speaking of MH light and refugiums....at the risk of getting off topic and hijacking (sorry Jason)......is MH light overkill for a regular Chaeto 'fuge?
Thanx much and cheers,
