Here are a couple of pics. They are both just over 2 feet above the water.

:eek: Holy mackerel!!!! Awesome!! Mine are pathetic little twigs that wish they were like halfways like that.

Did you start those from pods or were they already little plantlets? Do you have them in any kind of substrate (sand or mud or ...??) What kind of fluorescents are those? How often do you mist them?

I think I got them at the same time you did. I initially got 4 from Evan. These two really took off. I initally floated them above some rocks and the roots eventually grew through some holes in the live rock that support them now. I have approx 2-3 inchese of sand with next to no water movement. The flourescents I just bought at Brite Lite. They are Phillips 50 Watt 41 RS. 2 of them. Oh and I have never misted them and yes they were only pods at the time I got them.

Anywhere in town to get the mangroves these days? How much do they cost?
I want to add a couple to my fuge..

make sure your mg levels are good because they need mg to balance out their whatever in saltwater. then they should grow pretty good after that.

Wow, looks like you might have to take those out and actually pot them in soil... They look great BTW.
Can you propagate those via cuttings or are pods and seedlings the only way to start growing them? Do they discolor the water? I have mangrove driftwood (in freshwater) and it leaches like mad.

Anyone have any mangroves they want to part with :)

Ya I have used the wood for Discus tanks the tanins helps soften the water to that of the Amazon
