Hey Everyone, looking for some help as i am fairly new to the mangrove life. I have mine in the sump in a couple inch's of old Fiji pink sand, it has been fairly well of late growing pretty tall but I fear it may be getting fairly close to the light. Has anyone ever used Bonsai wire to help shape their mangroves? any advice on this?

I've used zip ties to train.
