mangroves
I have started a Mangrove refugium in my sump...I'm pleased to tell you Red Mangroves are very hardy & easy to care for. Reccomended 1-2 per 10gal. Mine are suspended vertically in a styrofoam sheet & floats in the sump. Lighting requirements are not great, I use a clip on grow bulb 120W on reverse daylight photoperiod & they seem very happy. The guys @ J&L told me this was plenty of light. I think I spent $19 at the local nursery for it. check out home depot, their clip-ons have a reflector but I think they are rated for 100W only.
