What about when the mangroves look like a limp noodle? or should I throw it out?

We're not going to worry about it too much, as long as it doesn't become the topic of the thread...

potassium silicate. Will strengthen limbs and fibers of the plant but not sure what it will Do to tank. Best to toss them and get new ones

It's common for Lower leaves to drop for a number of reasons.
Light strength Is a big one. But I wouldn't wory unless you see defects in new growth

With mangroves I was informed the idea is limit the leaves to just a few to promote better nutrient removal by the root system. So I've always pruned older leaves as new ones come in. Perhaps yours are doing this more naturally, getting what they need from the water more than the light.
