Sorry, forgot that I am new around here, and assume that a lot of people check this forum and the other forum (the mostly Ontario one) so know me from there

Not sure if I am allowed to post links to the build on there or RC, just search for mark0933's 720G - here is the finished product...and my "assistant"

Real mangroves would be nice, but you'd be looking at at least 10 years before they grow to a nice size for that tank. Maybe you could import some but that might prove difficult you can only get the pods easily in Canada.

This is going to be a really neat tank! Maybe you should use real mangroves as the filtration to go along with the fake structure. 10 years down the road you might be able to take the fake ones out

good call on the "both" factor.. if you are worried about the roots breaking the seams you could grow some at different stages of growth and remove as needed. but then you may have to cut roots to seperate the mangroves.

Ohh and if you are worried about not being able to link pics from the other site maybe you could copy and paste the whole thread here?
