Speaking of mangroves, you planted them in pots? I picked up like 10 of the seeds while I was in Key West this summer. And now they are starting to germinate. I am thinking of putting them in my sump but within pots worrying the rooting might breaking my sump...

Good job on that tank. How often do you do water changes?

THe link above will give you good amount of info on mangroves. How big are your mangroves? When you plan to place them make sure the leaves are above the water. I wire-tie them to a plastic container. You can place them however you want, either in live sand or bare roots exposed in the water. If i remember correctly you can just trim the roots and leaves if the mangroves are growing to out of control. They are slow growers so you don't have to worry much.

I do my water changes every month. Sometimes every 2 months if i don't have time.
