    Wow, I missed this thread until now. That looks great, Luna!! Good job on the purchase! I'm sure you'll be happy with it. You stated it's 47" wide, I'm guessing that's to fit under your 48" 90 in the stand, right?

    Sweet!!

    I've been wanting to add Mangroves into my sump, but I was thinking it would turn the water brown like low tide? Plus getting in trouble if the Mangrove seed takes root in the sand.

    Where did you hear that? Water brown? I have around 13 mangroves and my water is no where near brown. Luna

    Hey Luna looks good but all the water needs not to run over the bio balls if you add them ? Just put a passive by pass to feed them anout 20 % of the total and you will see that the nitrates won't so up .
