Mangroves

[digitalreefer]

Me and nanoreefer22 (Kris) are going to buy some mangroves through ebay. If anybody else wants to get in on it we can order more and cut the shipping down. We're both in Park Slope.

Just curious, what is the purpose of you buying them? If for aesthetics they are fine. But if you are relying on nutrient export, you can forget it. Their intake is very slow and you will need a sheet load of them to make a dent.

Just so you know. I had some in the fuge but i just liked the way they looked.

I'm buying them just to spruce up my sump, got light over it might as well have something growing out of it .

Same thing I did. Just make sure you cut back the roots a couple of times a year. They can glow right through your glue and couse a leek.

Perfectly fine kris. They really are cool looking. I wouldn't mind having a fuge with mangroves shooting roots down. I just wanted to make sure you guys aren't planning on using them for nutrient export, don't want you to be dissapointed.

 

[digitalreefer]

If they do anything to help the nutrient levels it's a bonus... I have a really boring hang on fuge and want something cool looking in there!

Make yourselves some styrofoam floaters until the begin to root and sprout.

Lucy you got some splainin' to do!

But seriously... what are those?

 

[Pedro]

Reg styrofoam, you know the white stuff used to package tv's etc. It floats. Pop a hole in a square piece, stick the mangrove through it and let it sprout. You only need a section of it to be under water. If you submerge the entire thing, it will rot and die.

Very cool... thanks for the tip... so what kind of TV do you recommend for the best styrofoam... plasma or lcd?

Thanks, Tony. But someone running a group buy shouldn't have prospective members have to search for a vendor to buy from. :duh:
