    What are your thoughts on Grid Filters?

    Note: I do not intend to use one on my current system, but I might consider them for a smaller project. Lately, I have seen these “Grid Filters” doing the rounds in the freshwater hobby. Though their capacity and flow rate would likely be quite low, they seem like an interesting way to...

    Is this the correct type of light to use on a mangrove plant?

    I have a red mangrove in my reef tank and I am looking for a light to buy for the plant itself. I found this one on amazon, do you think this one is the right type of lighting or should I look for something else. Suggestions on mangrove lights are welcomed and appreciated. thanks!

    Do small mangrove tanks need filtration?

    I'm thinking of putting two small tanks on either side of my 90" mixed reef. Originally i was going to plump it into the tank.. but I'm thinking that might be overkill. That is, if the Mangrove tanks don't need filtration in the first place. These "tanks" would be more like shallow 5-10...
