I have recently bought a Red Mangrove and one of the branches fell off during shipping (the first photo where i left the branch in the pot). Does anyone have tips on getting the mangrove to branch again without needing to cut the top off? There are some spiky buds growing off the side of nodes...
Hi, I am a longtime seller of corals, anenomes, etc on R2R with excellent reviews. I've started a new venture with ultra realistic cast urethane habitats. The 48" long by 24" wide by 18" high system comes with everything needed to plug and play, filtration and pumping system, automatic misting...
I love the look of mangroves and the idea of having a tree that grows in salt water in my tank. I decided to add some into the back filtration chamber of my waterbox 20 AIO by sticking some proagules in the little ventilation holes of an Intank 3D printed insert for the back chamber. I couldn't...
Hey all,
My name is Justin, and I’ve been working with saltwater fish tanks and aquariums for 15+ years. Most of my experience is on setting up fish tanks for private clients (houses, dentists, doctors, etc,) but have worked with a few public aquariums as well. These days, I’m currently...
Hi all,
I set up a rectangular foam above my DT. It is supported by the glasses.
I created small holes in the foam and placed mangle pods.
They were slowly growing during winter then started growing fast when spring was about to end.
But now, I feel they are mostly growing their dry parts. The...
As the title suggests, I'm looking for thoughts on what to put in each of the three filter chambers for my WB 25 Peninsula AIO tank. I have been testing weekly and I am not controlling nitrates well. To keep nitrates low, I have to do multiple water changes a week right now.
Currently, I just...
I'm excited to start working on a new project, a 100'' long shallow reef tank! Previously, three smaller shallow reef tanks covered this wall.. but I always had the dream of creating one large, low-tech, system and having lots of mangroves, macro algae and nano critters in it. Above the water I...
I’ve been wanting to get a mangrove tree for my tank just to have one. I think there so pretty.
Here’s a picture of my tank. I have egg crate on top. I don’t want it in my sump. Any ideas where I can put one and also advice and suggestions how to grow one?
Hi all,
I don't like to show my work as I am a newcomer to this lovely world of reefing, and my posts are not "Instagrammable" since my first tank ever is not that nice looking, but let me start my own tank build.
Since I am based in France, I noticed we have some differences in terms of...
Just wanted to share my newest reef experiment! Last week I bought a mangrove sapling from my LFS which sparked the idea to make a very small pico tank housing the mangrove and maybe some macroalgae and or zoas/palys. I ran down to homegoods and found a roughly 3/4gallon cookie jar and threw in...
Hello,
I have been building a 16 gallon aquarium for some time now and have acquired all my equipment. I know that I want to do a planted macro algae aquarium with some random photosynthetic sponges and a mangrove. I am pretty set in this goal.
Equipment:
-Seachem Tidal 55 Filter
-Finnex...
I can't write English, so I write using a translator. I'm sorry
These mangroves have been raised for more than a year, and since the last four months, yellow spots have formed on the leaves, and the leaves have dried up yellow, and they have started to fall one by one Faster than the growth...
I have found this etsy account that sells mangroves. i orderd a few and they came perfect. root system was growing very clean. they had instructions for acclimation and it seems to be working great. jjst a slow process

Just what the title says. I'm ordering an IM 100g Peninsula in the next couple of weeks and want to start putting my plan together.
I currently plan to light it with two AI Prime HDs that I have since they both have a 24"x24"x24" spread and I'll upgrade if needed but like the idea of not having...
My mangroves looks like they have nutrient deficiency.
I heard that you can use root tab, but can someone tell me if this looks safe for a coral reef tank.
It's containing copper... but in trace amounts.
Hey everyone,
So, i've been briefly introducing myself in another thread, and i've been kindly adviced to start this building thread.
I've been thinking first : eh let's take this cubic redsea nano max. I saw one for cheap in my neighborhood for sale, and as a good urban citizen, i don't own a...

NO LIMIT- 1 in the cart means 3 in the box!
The red mangrove is a true plant that is suitable for most marine aquaria. While it does function as a refugium plant, it is a slow grower and therefore only sequesters nutrients at a modest...
Any suggestion for mangrove alternatives? My wife would like to add some green into the tank like below, however my tank is too deep (40cm) and my sand is too swallow to grow a mangrove here. Also, it is difficult to buy mangrove in HK LFS. Any alternatives? I think of some macroalgae, but I...

I recently started a Macro Algae tank that has 2 mangroves in it, of course they cam from Algae Barn!
Anyway, The tank has been running for a few month and I was wondering if anybody has had huge amounts of growth or very slow growth with mangroves??
When I got mine they had small roots on...
Time for a new build! The plan is to do a Mangrove/Macroalgae tank time with the possibility of adding some mushrooms and/or other softies in the future. The tank and cabinet get delivered today.
Planned Hardware:
Lighting: Hydra 32 Freshwater
Pump: Sicce 1.0
Wavemaker: Nero 3
I'm drawing...
I'm starting this build thread a little early. I am moving apartments in late March and am using that opportunity to transfer my Waterbox Peninsula Mini 25 contents to the new lagoon layout. It fit's my desired look far better, allowing for mangroves and more horizontal space for macro algaes...
I'm wondering if anyone has used either the Kessil A80 vs A160WE Tuna Sun lights for mangroves?
I'm looking to get a light with a broad spectrum for a couple of mangroves in my small 10 gallon sump. If anyone has ideas other than the two I mentioned as well - I'm all ears.
I currently have a...
Note: I do not intend to use one on my current system, but I might consider them for a smaller project.
Lately, I have seen these “Grid Filters” doing the rounds in the freshwater hobby. Though their capacity and flow rate would likely be quite low, they seem like an interesting way to...
