Hey all,
I've been considering getting some small mangroves and growing them out in fresh water. I've heard they grow faster this way, then I'd transplant them into a tank and very slowly raise the salinity over time. My question is, for those of you who've grown them out in fresh water, did you add anything (nitrates/phosphate/fertilizer?) to the water or was it just a bucket of tap water? Trying to get a gauge on the simplicity of growing out a mini tree with aerial roots...
