I use HO T5s over mine. Not sure what you mean by room. I have seen where people band a large group together but their only interest was the nutrient export. I treat mine more like bonsi and have 4 large bonsi in a 20g. It is plumbed into the system so I get some export but with only 4 not much.

so how do you keep them small, do you just prune the new growth to make them bushy?

Exactly......

Another thing about the mangrove tree....once they start to root don't bother the roots for a long time. I have read you shouldn't move them for 5 yrs. That might be extreme but the root system is delicate.
