Mangrove Plants

hi all, all of us should be very interested in removing nitrate phos and a lot of other deadly chemicals in our tank....other than skimmers and troublesome monthly water change... i saw this website that offers another alternative....

on top of this,i saw this new kind of filtration method (new to me) i think its similar to a refugium only that i think it will be very nice if u can grow a small plant in your main tank and having it stretch the canopy above the water level, juz like a mangrove.

mangroves you will have to use light around 6500K spectrum as they are land plants. The spectrum we use for marine does make them grow, but 6500K will make them grow faster.
