Interesting, I bought 5 seedlings and put them in my fuge, leaf pair 4 on a couple of them, mine are all over deep set really!
My fuge is my only nutrient export, love mangroves.

Correct! They're an amazing addition when properly implemented, but do very little for nutrient export unless you have many mature plants.Thanks guys. Honestly, I don't think you're going to see a ton of nutrient export from mangroves, unless you have a ton, or a few really big, mature plants. Pound for pound, you're better off with macro-algae if you're looking for nutrient export. Chaeto is the best as far as I'm concerned. The intention here was to create a unique and visually different base for a neat future beach/bomie tank.
I really like how your training your root systems like that too. Going to look really cool when they mature.
Very cool thread! Following!
Awesome! Hope it turns out like a legit mangrove forest.
This is a great concept you have going, keep up the awesome work! I've been growing some out for four years now but the project is not ready to share... yet
Now that is awesome!! Love the bonsai shapeI will definitely be following along. When I was a kid I went snorkeling in a mangrove lagoon, since then I've wanted to do something like this but I could never get my mangroves to take. Here is a pic I found online that I saved as inspiration.
