So question for you guys I have a 75gal DT would I be able to get these tall enough to sit in the tank? Also can they take high flow?

 

[fish farmer]

Not a whole lot to update. These guys are slow growers when they're not planted in substrate. The roots for most have grown all the way to the bottom of the tank, so I'm going to begin the process of lifting them above the water line to thicken up the root structures.

I'll update with some photos soon.

Been a year or so....any updated pics?

Any updated pictures?
I want to see how your attempt to grow the roots out worked. I have a similar idea in mind. In my research for mangroves I stumbled into this awesome thread!

Can we get a update?

I think this is dead. The last post was in 2017. Updates have been asked for a few times.

This is making me wish my 24" deep tank was only 12-18". really cool

I’m setting up a bin outside in a shed.south Florida so temps should be fine.

This is an old thread 2016

I know. Was hoping it would still be up and running

Just found this thread here in 2021. I wonder how your mangrove tank is doing?

7 weeks. All 6 have actually sprouted now. 7 week picture was taken this past Saturday.

I've had these for over 2 years now

Wow
This tank is so beautiful, it has me rethinking what I want to do with the rest of my reef life.

Not really sure on the first question. If it sits under reef tank lights it will do fine, however in a sump it will need extra light. Make sure to spray it everyday with RO water.
