Hey guys, this is my first time with a mangrove tree in my system.
I have two mini trees ~ 12" and the original leaves have dried up and the leaves that haven't are soft and droopy. However, the roots are definitely growing.
-Nutrients: Phosphates are ~13ppb or lower (Hanna checker doesn't seem to go below 13ppb. Nitrates are non-existent (I run GFO and Carbon)
-Dose ALk, Calc (continuous) and trace elements (once a week)
- I also have chaeto under a white light for 14 hours a days
-I have them under T5 lights right now, do I need a more aggressive "grow light?" I have an aquaponics grow light that I can use in an external fuge setup.
-The roots aren't buried in anything, do they need to be in live sand?
Looking for any advice! Thanks!
