The mangroves continue to look fantastic!
 I've probably asked this before and I've just forgotten but what light do you use for them?

It's working now for me too. Dunno why it took its sweet time.. Schtoopid computer.
Yeah I seem to remember back from my more active days of growing orchids that hydroponics shops didn't like to carry anything 250. It's sort of like how aquarists don't seem to like 175w because 250w is just a little bit more light for close to the same wattage and there's more choice. But in the plant world 400w is our 250w and nobody likes the 250w because 400w is more light and more choices and blah blah blah. Plant people want to light up an entire room or greenhouse with HID where us water geeks like to keep the light contained to a small area but bright as all heck IN that small area.  Having said all that I think there is a Venture 250W that is 5500K. I think they are the big globe style lamp though so that probably doesn't help you at all.

Is that second from last picture just showing up as the top inch or so for anyone else? Everytime I try refreshing it comes up the same.

I am planning on keeping the mangroves until I sell the tank. Hopefully the mangroves will just cover my basement .I ordered the mangroves from Hawaii i brought in 150 unfortunately i started to grow them under the water. I found if you don't spray them like 4 times a day when then protruding the tip of the water the mangrove will die. My mangroves range in size from 12" to 24"
