I'm really digging the mangrove tank. Look down is a whole new perspective. One day shallow water rfa and other shallow water coral.

It will take sometime before the mangrove start sprouting. But when they do, the mangrove a nice to look at. When the mangroves start to sprout, spray the mangrove leaves with water, not salter but fresh water one a week. This will hydrate the plant. I used RO/DI so not to get the bad stuff from tap water.

Take a look at the growth. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

They are growing like molasses on a frigid morning.

Not bad growth I would say for mangroves. Loving them

You've got room for at least 10 more! Nice growth so far. I love my mangrove tank. While I agree with everything @jsker said, I will just add that I mist mine with RODI daily. You'll want to keep salt creep off of their stems and leaves.

Mist everyday. I wish but I want them to get bushy and full. I may have to get rid of one or 2.

You are doing great, in mangrove farming!! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: I have all these idea for the new system, I am thinking of mangrove section in the sump.

It's a jelly like substance. Reminds me of eggs.

It's only on one rock.

A few questions. What are your nutrients testing at? Does it dissappear after lights out? Any bubbles coming off of it?

No bubbles. Nitrates not a clue don't test that tank. It's there with lights on and off. No bubbles coming of it.

No new rocks added. Tank has half black angel been there for a while. It also has random snails added when my buddy switched to fowlr tank.

It's definitely jelly like substance. Reminds me of a clutch of frog egg consistency

It's not cyano or dinos delt with both Of those.

I do have a couple of small mangrove leaves that where in the tank.

That wouldn't do it, IMO. Not unless there was some weird bacteria colonizing it. I tend to agree that it looks bacterial. Though, some Annalid sp. lay gelatinous egg masses and they look a little like that. What does your worm population look like?
