The whole 1 mangrove per 25 gallons is, in my opinion, a rule of thumb without much substance in reality. So take it with a grain of salt.

I don't keep mangroves for nutrient removal... I'd use charro for that. I keepthem because I am endlessly fascinated by plants, especially the water filtering ability of mangroves (I develop water desalination technology).
same here i dont need them for nutrient export i just like them and think they are beautiful and i like to try new things
