one thing to add if you are going with mangroves acclimate them slow from a 50/50% mix of saltwater and freshwater to the proper salinity in your tank. If you drop them in your refuge they will not like that I grow them in a small jar now with sand and 75% SW to 25% fresh and been keeping them alive for 4 months. The first batch of 4 died within 2 weeks.

Jmho cheers.

I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense that a plant needs to be acclimated the same as fish/inverts.
Where did you get your mangroves and were they pods, 1-leafers or full-sized trees?

$4.99 ea for spaghetti worms?? $2.49 for stomatella?! $2.49 micro stars?! wowza! My sandbed must be worth thousands!

Interesting idea, selling them like that but really, with Live Rock you should get most of these things in time anyhow. I guess that's for people who don't like to wait and love spending money
