    im looking to plant a few mangroves into my display tank. because of my fixtures, i need to find another means of lighting the mangroves instead of relying on the existent lights. what kind of light to these guys really require?

    I've been lucky growing groves in my fuge with no supplemented lighting at all and only reg room lighting. I do recommend a high flow and spraying the leaves & stems with fresh water on a weekly basis to keep the salt from keeping up as well
