Mangrove swamp

[sfin52]

Floating these is not a good way to get growth. Typical reef tanks dont have the amount of required nutrients in the water to support good growth. You need a substrate that the roots can pull needed nutrients from. We have a 6' tall one at the lfs wish it'd been pruned properly but it has multiple branches. It is and was grown in substrate. Maybe since I'll be in the area today I'll get a pic.

Welcome to the swamp.

Urs look so good compared to mine... Had mine for 1.5 years and got to 4 leaves floating them.

Thanks sir. Mine are a little under a year.

Hope you don't mind. This is the one at the lfs. I want to say it's been there for about 5 years now. It's grown a couple feet in that time.

Mangroves are doing really well
@jsker take a look at the growth

 

[sfin52]

Just look at that growth.

Was wondering if youd be back to see that monster I posted above.

It doesn't get updated much.

Yeah They got it from a tank break down I think, while I was still working part time. Its grown a lot since then. I forget to check on it when I'm there sometimes. Its pretty cool.

Growth on the one is really picking up. Not sure what the difference is

Could be a number of things. Lighting, root depth in the substrate, etc. Some girls just grow slower. If it's healthy, I wouldn't worry.

That's a good point. Size of pod/start would also play a part

@jsker still going strong.
