Mangroves


Recommended Posts

I have 4 in my sump. They have been there for over 2 yrs now. I can't say that they do any better than macro (I have chaeto, red gracilaria, and flame algae in there too) with nutrient export, but I do notice pods congregating around the roots. Snails love that area too. I would think they help nutrient export and provide a natural place for micro fauna, so I can't see a negative side to them.

Yes, I have the red mangroves from reefcleaners. I just have an led bulb from Lowe's or Home Depot (can't remember which) that is in a shop light. They would probably grow faster with proper lighting but it works for what I have.
