So over the years I've tried many times to grow mangroves in my sump. At first it was because I THOUGHT maybe they did something to clean the water. I'm pretty sure they DO NOT ... at least not at a rate that is useful. However, now due to many failures, I've decided to try and grow one (or two) UNRELATED to my aquarium except that maybe I'll use water-change-waste-water to fill a mangrove pot.
Has anyone actually grown a mangrove in their tank OR in a pot?
I have the propogules grow and have a few leaves ... then die.
Maybe it's because I don't religiously spray their leaves off (to get the exuded salt off) or I don't give them magnesium or something.
Anyway, at this point, I just want to grow one because I pride myself with having a fairly green thumb and mangroves have been thwarting me for like 20 years! LOL (Well, OK, not quite 20 years)
