Im looking to grow mangroves in a bucket ( my LFs does this and they are huge just a bucket of salt water and sand and water changes every once in a great while and sunlight all day) whats the best light to put over them maybe led? or t5 bulbs if you know whats best please say and the type to use thanks!
 
I just added a couple mangroves to my fuge recently with a Kessil H380 on it. In my DT I have couple as well with the Kessil A160 Tuna Blue. I've had the Mangroves for a month so still waiting on results.
 
I've had 4 propagules in my small sump fuge under a Kessil H80 for about 6 weeks; All four seem to be rooted, and two are just starting to sprout. The H80 is at 40% on the color scale (mostly blue 'grow' mode) most of the time.
 
I keep mine under some PAR lights. There is water under there, I promise!
