I thought the mangroves would have a bigger impact on removing the nasties, but it's Ok, I'm really enjoying watching my system evolve. I do have a large ball of macro, to the point I had to rearrange my live rock in the refugium so it could get some light. I don't want to cut it up and loose the life that is living in it.
