ah CRAP

I've already added mine into my overflow, from what I'd read as long as they'd come in this form, they could be added direct, and it seems that some can't, but some also can. it's not really specific that red mangroves need to always be heavily and carefully acclimated, and that sometimes they'll do okay. I've had them in there, so I'm not really sure - do I risk it, or do I try to fiddle? Meh
