Mangroves
 

So I just purchased a couple of them today...
and have it placed in the sump.. what special needs do they have ?
and any additional things i need in there for them to thrive ?

they need plant spectrum lighting, and you need to keep the leaves clear of salt creep.

they might benefit from the regular additives you add to the tank, and they like
to have decent water flow around the roots.
corraline on the roots is ok, dont scrape them.

they are pretty hardy other than that, hope they all sprout for you

I purchased some red mangrove pods a couple months ago as well and found this good article on keeping them: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-1...ture/index.php
