I just finished upgrading my nuvo 10 to a 25 lagoon ext and really want to start a mangrove island. Looking for advice on how to best plant the mangrove and optimal lighting for the mangrove. I was hoping to do a singular live rock island projecting out of the water and attaching a few mangroves to the rock.
My questions are how deep should the mangroves be submerged or can I plant them above the water line as long as the roots are in the water? Is there a certain type of live rock/sand that is more suitable for mangroves? Also I currently have two ai primes on goosenecks. Would the mangroves get sufficent light from the ambient lighting if they grow above the lights?
