Hello R2R,
I'm trying to figure out what's happening with my mangrove. I purchased it from algaebarn, floated it in the tank while I adjusted and cut my lid and ended up 'planting' it atop my rock structure as intended.
I'm writing this because as evidenced by my photo - the mangrove has not yet begun to bounce back. Quickly after purchase I nabbed a 'grow' light off amazon to provide supplemental lighting until I get another AP9X for my tank. The stalk is still firm, and it has not yet begun to drop leaves, but it has been leaning from the base of the plant as shown in this photo. There are some phosphate and nitrate in the tank, so I know there's some nutrients in the tank, and my fuge is taking off but the mangrove has still continued to struggle.
Let me know if / how to get this to bounce back... I feel like its slowly perishing and continues to lean more instead of becoming more upright.
