    If you have Macro's in there....I would not do 24 hrs. a day. Plants need dark out times as well. Plants do sleep! ;)

    Just a couple pics to show the root structure of healthy mangroves and the potential problem that can occur if they are left unattended.

    The root structure in July of this year

    The root structure today

    Here's a full shot of both the display fuge and the dt. Kacy the lighting above my fuge is 3 of the 6500K BrightEffect CFL-R's.

    I wouldn't recommend this many mangroves though LOL They really pull the magnesium out of the water. :)

    Well, I needed some cheering up, so I went on a shopping spree!

    I bought my macro. John doesn't have the biggest selection in right now, but I got enough to start. I bought some flame algae, sargassum, codium and a surprise penny macro.

    Then...I went fuge fish shopping! LOL I bought a flaming prawn goby and a tank bred misbar black and white clown. I love the misbars! I was having such a hard time finding one. And flaming prawn goby was a total impulse buy. They are so different and very active, and my dude will love it. It will be his surprise! Can't wait until they get here!!
