Tony your mangroves probably don't grow much as you have a skimmer as your primary nutrient export. Mangroves I find for the most part are an attractive fuge type plant, they don't supply much in the way of nutrient export (try grape caulerpa if thats your goal). I love mine and plan on getting more when they come back in stock at superstore. Last year we grabbed 4 of them in a pot for 10 bucks. In a year now each one probably has 12-20 leaves depending on size, they tend to drop leaves when they touch the bulb.

I kinda agree with all the posts except for the slow growth factor...as a filter you do need alot, but as posted...I have alot. Mine have grown at a very fast rate, pruning all the time, roots bigger than my pinky. As for the filtration factor, not sure how much they are really doing, but as for the cool factor, I give them a 10

Got pics Quinn? I'd love to see what you're doing differently than I am. I've come close to chucking mine (well OK selling not chucking) on account that they're so hopelessly slow to grow.
