I'm sure you don't have to get this complicated, just make sure the process is done slowly. Does this seem like alot of work for a mangrove??? ![]() I was lucky, when I got mine, they didn't have roots. they went straight into tank water. Shaun. |

![]() The way my wife acclimates her trees; she starts out with a vase that holds about 8 cups of water. Her first week has one cup tank water and 7 cups fresh. Week two she dumps the water and uses 2 cups tank water and 6 fresh. Week three is 3 cups tank water and 5 fresh, and so on. At the end of week 7 she adds them to her mangrove tank. One thing I did for her was cut some foam blocks so they could float just above the miracle mud (with a sand cap) to encourage the roots to get a little longer and more gnarly looking.

![]() Anyone having any luck acclimating? I read on WWM that mangroves cannot be acclimated once they have grown roots. No sign of new leaves on mine yet.

![]() You haven't even got through the acclimation period yet.....give it some time. If acclimated right they should start showing signs of growth in a month or two maybe even 3. If you rushed it, it could be a year before any signs of growth. Trees, like reef tanks, require patience....
