Re: [GSAS-Member] Mangrove plants at fishstore

["Clifford Miller" <clifford@clevergeek.com>]

Generally I see people using them for brackish and (low?) salt sumps
because they are fairly salt tolerant, coming from inter-tidal salt
marshes and bogs...

Kind of like using willow shoots to kill green water...the nutrient draw
is so strong, there's nothing left for the algae.

I've never known anyone that's kept a mangrove past 2 feet or so (and
usually they're sold at 6" to 1'). You need plenty of light on your
sump/tank to keep them going even that long-- hard to keep a decent sized
tree hidden away in your reef stand.  All in all, very cool plants, but
too hard for me...
