Mangrove plant in sump?

[chris124]

I;am thinking about putting some mangrove plants in my sump and need to know if the leaves need to be above the water level? If so what can I use to raise them?

Yes they need to be above water level. And if they're not there yet, they will either grow out of the water or you can try to have them "float" (attach them vertical, like a heater). Once the leaves are above the water line, make sure to spray them down daily with some freshwater (RO). They will thank you later.
