Anyone with successful Mangrove experience here?

[SauceyReef]

I started a thread for my Mangrove peninsula tank, but I think because Mangroves are together with macro algae it does not receive a lot of views or comments. I have a few questions that I would love some help with either here or at the build thread:

1. Do I need less flow? The mangroves seem to be slightly growing, but there is a good amount of flow in the DT.
2. Should I setup a refugium in the back chamber? Or will the Mangroves sucking out nutrients suffice?
3. The two mangroves in the DT are very close to the AI Prime. Is that a problem? The leaves are slightly curling inward.

Flow probably ok, refugium if that’s the Way you want to go and if your nitrates are still too high , I think you would need at least 1 per gallon to make a difference, if they are curling then they probably are too close to the lights .
