Oh yeah guys was wondering if any y'all had any mangrove experience?
Due to myself I tried and failed but would like to try and NOT fail again.
Fire away.

He knows he is guilty looking at you from his hiding place.

I know they actually like light, less blue, more natural? Also, a big killer and/or growth inhibitor is dirty leaves so spray the leaves off frequently with fresh, pure water. Beyond that, I know next to nothing. They probably want nutrients so be prepared to start dosing phosphates/nitrates as needed.

For the record: I went to the doctor today (finally). She wrote me an order for an X-ray on my lower back so I'll do that Thursday likely. She doesn't think it's compression, so she's leaning more towards a mild sciatica. She's going to recommend chiropractor and possible physical therapy if the X-ray is clear.

Hope they fix it for you!

That my friend is good news! Swing by my office and I’ll work on you for free. This is how I spent my morning also.

Not me.

 

[fishguy242]

Not me.

of course that Becky gonna say "not it"...

 

[00W]

Well I went ahead and ordered some mangroves. I think I have enough residual light from the fuge and since my fuge is 20 inches long, I'll plant them on the other side.
Needing a good substrate to secure the roots, definitely a problem I had from my last adventure.
Any help here is appreciated.
Thinking about regular sand, Aragonite, coral rubble, crushed coral
What y'all think?

 

[fishguy242]

REgular sand...

 

[00W]

REgular sand...

Okay that's what I wanted in the first place so I'll go with that.
It's cheap too.
Thanks Frank.

OK @tbrown tagged me in on the mud but i have also been entertaining the mangrove idea so now I'm following. Nice to meet you.
Lots of light get the pods not the ones that have already sprouted roots. If the roots get damaged in shipping or just in general they won't make it. Red seem to be most common I'm going to try to find black pods.
