The Mangrove lighting in my prop consists of two fixtures with 4 Sunpro tubes 54w each (total 216w) ATI tubes. I try to spray with osmosis water every day but many days I forget. As Mangrove consumes large quantities of magnesium I supplement twice as much groTech magnesium in the calcium reactor to compensate. In the Mangrove tank i use one Tunze pulse pump. When i had my home aquariums, I had two mangrove tanks belonged to the system and i took care of them as bonsai, up to 13 years old. Now they are not bonsai anymore because they have much space up to grow. Some Mangrove bonsai pics taken 5 years ago when they were part of my home aquariums system, under HQI lamps:  Other bonsai view  Bonsai leaves after pruning

Thanks for your support words, Global warming affect the reefs in a planetary scale, everybody knows that. The reefs exploitation for tourism proposes gives us pleasure and commodity when we visit that paradises, provide income to the countries which reefs belong, but the creatures living there have no advantages at all and they are once more prejudiced. The number of reef keepers in the world increases every year, and the reefs exploitation for commercial proposes removing live rocks, fishes, corals, invertebrates from the oceans they belong to supply the hobby all over the world also increases. This may not be the cause of the reefs destruction, but this will help, it will ... We love the reefs, we use to say, but we need to have a new look to the reef keeping! Uff!!! |

I think that only a heavy mass may be useful for nutrient export in a aquarium, depending of the water volum, obviously. I have them long time ago because I love these plants as i love fishes and corals. Cheers, |

Its not commercial if he isnt trying to sell anything. I guess you havent read all the threads that have been floating around for a long time about coral prop. greenhouses in the section"Coral Propagation and Aquaculture", which is what this section is actually meant for. So I think you stuck your foot in your mouth on that one. You should really read the rules for this section before trying to point fingers at somebody. Rules of the Game |

hola Machado,
What media do you inside your calcium reactor ? Do you add any dolomite to the reactors so they can add magnesium ? Great Setup ! Last edited by jman77; 10/28/2007 at 10:28 AM. |

Hi Jman77, I missed your avatar...and your comments!
In my calcium reactors i use Caribsea A.R.M Reactor Media, USA product, mixed with GroTech Magnesium Pro (10%). Cheers, |

Thanks for your words I use ATI T5 tubes in all tanks, including algae filters and Mangrove tanks. About wattage Main tanks: Maternity: 4 Blue Special 80W + 4 Blue Plus 80W = 640W Nursery: 3 Blue Special 80W + 3 Blue Plus 80W = 480W Day-care: 5 Blue Special 80W + 5 Blue Plus 80W = 800W Support tanks: Mangroves tank: 4 Sunpro 54W= 216W Algae filter: 2 Sunpro 54W= 108W These are the spectrum of ATI Tubes I use in main tanks:  Cheers, |

Machado deSousa,
Absolutely awesome!! You have inspired me. I have a quaetion about the success rate of your specimens. For example for every 100 cuttings, how many cuttings thrive? I have had nice success, but I have a loss ratio higher than I am happy with.
