I havent used the lights my self but I can't imagine you would have a problem growing cheato --I grow it under normal compact fluorescents. I can't comment on mangroves, I don't know anything about them.

Go to home depot spend 5 bucks on a screw in shop light fixture and get one of the 7 year CF screw in bulbs, the bigger the better. Hits on 5k give or take a kelvin. It will grow chaeto very well
