that's right Jay... Mangroves don't go asexual where are most macro algae can but Cheato is the least likely to do so. Any macro algae or plant that "expires" and isn't removed from the tank can/will release it's nutrients into the tank. It's all part of the "Circle of Life".

Mangroves are a true plant and not a macro algae at all. I'm planning to try some myself in the near future.

Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
