Mangrove lighting

[mitchellmoto]

What would be better for growth. I have a deticated 50 gal. mangrove tank with a metal halide high above.
Currently a 10k bulb. Is this a good bulb or should I go with a 64k bulb I found.
I'm also interested in any info fellow mangrove growers have. Is anyone using fertilizer, or supplementing anything ito the tank?
Just curious what other people are doing. Any and all info welcome.
Thanks
Mitch

I would imagine that the 64k bulb would produce better growth. I have a single mangrove in my lagoon tank. I feed the fish regularly, dose nitrates, iron, iodine, an Kents essential elements infrequently. Also test and dose Ca, Mg, and alk as you would a reef tank.
