awesome. Looks like a good setup for my new stand. i might have to order some!
I love my DJ power strips for sure. I got so tired of being zapped when pulling plugs out when I had to shut off the pumps and etc. that i went crazy looking for an alternative haha
Now its as simple as flipping a switch and no more zap
Edit: Dont get me wrong I love a little zap just as the next guy goes lol

Yes, I had to admit I might have given some info wrong, I'm sorry!
>>>>For all my love for keeping these plants, however, I must admit that they truly are not comparatively efficient nutrient export mechanisms. It's a very simple matter. Growth overall is slow, and leaf drop is often concurrent with new leaf growth. The net gain of mass from these plants is, in fact, dismally slow, and leaf drop alone (as a vehicle for nutrient export) cannot compare to a vigorous Chaetomorpha or Gracilaria based vegetable filter<<<

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G using tapatalk that works as same as my skimmer! both sucks!!
What do you mean source? Where I've gotten them? or how I maintain them?
Living next to one of Florida's larger estuaries, Mangroves have high accumulative of seeds that drop throughout the IRL (Indian Rive Lagoon). While its illegal to pull the seeds off the trees, Pulls the seeds from the ground once roots have began; It is not illegal to grab them out of the river while floating. Most of the seeds that float throughout the river do not make it and are instead turning into waste and rot.
Being an avid fisherman, its as easy as throwing a cast net to grab a large sum of them while the tree are dropping their seeds around august time.
I maintain them by, first misting the leave daily because they do absorb salt and excrete it through their leaves, if not misted the leaves die off and rot, then by letting pure waste build up in the refugium allows different sources of nutrience build up and allows to mangroves/chaeto to flourish. Hence why there is no sand in my refugium. (miracle mud works the same)
Mangroves are slow growers, so in order for them to grow at a steady rate they absorb as much waste/nutrient it can obtain to help incease their steady growth and possibly help speed their growth up.
I run my tank BB because I'm currently in the process of turning my tank to a dominated tank. I want to increase their colors and size but in order to do so they must have high protein food. I defiantly do not want any of that sitting around in my tank so have BB allows to the extra food to be washed down into the sump where my filter sock and protein skimmer will handle most of it but what is left over goes to the plants.
Edit:
What can I say I'm Zoa Crazy haha
