    i also use lighting similar to falcon...just a plan ol' lowes/home depot $5 fixture with a 6500k bulb....

    i have a chaeto ball and other macros that grow crazy under this lighting...requires pruning back in a minimum of 2 weeks...

    the issue with the mangroves and clamp on light becomes height...will you be able to raise the light to accomodate for growth?
