Helloooooo everyone recently got my first saltwater fish tank and I’m super excitEd about it, it’s 13 days old now and going strong.

But I have a question... is it still possible to have a vibrant reef tank with the mangrove growing? I want LPS and SPS coral in conjunction with maybe 1 or 2 small mangroves and some fish. Been looking all over google and it seems possible but I’d like the opinion from people on here.

Living in Miami I’ve always liked the appearance of Mangroves so it’ll be nice to have em in my tank.

Edit: 40 Gallon Nuvo AIO 46 pounds of live rock, 40 pounds of live sand.

Thanks,
:)

It's possible. You may need to turn up the whites on your lighting a little bit more then normal. But its entirely possible :)
