It's pretty much a mix of all the sand and mud ever used in my reef systems (24g, 54g, 65g, 165g, 110g) so there is a pretty large range in particle size. We ended up loosing half of the mangroves from the transplant, once these things root you should never move them.

Flow through the manrgrove system is pretty slow, don't know the exact amount as my return plumbing is split between that and the sump but I would estimate between 2-5X turn over for the 60g tank per hour.

I will be ordering a bunch of pods again from my guy, anyone in need of some?
