Is Mangrove an effective nutrient exporter?
anonymous2294 replied to comycus's topic in General Reefkeeping_
Hi guys, i am currently keeping mangroves in my pond by the window. I must say that they are aesthetically beautiful!!! When people come to my house, there are often amazed by the fact that mangroves can be kept indoors. Also, my mum is a home tutor and she was pleased when i started keeping mangroves. She uses these mangroves as live examples when teaching science. Let me share my experience with keeping mangroves but of course, they are less beneficial as compared to those given by senior mangrove keepers here. For me, i have my mangrove pond for about four months. I started with just three mangroves but realised that they are very slow at absorbing nitrates. I increased the number of mangroves to twelve by "harvesting" at changi beach. However, due to lack of knowledge, four of the mangroves i "harvested" did not survive. It is because i thought that "harvesting" mangroves that has germinated will speed up the process of removing nutrients in my pond. I was wrong. Those that did not survive suffered from osmotic shock which is fatal to the plant. Thus when "harvesting" mangroves from the beach, get those with no roots and no leaves. My view is that if you really want to use mangroves as a nutrient exporter, use more. Another thing about mangroves is that you must put in effort daily to remove fallen leaves from the tank. Fallen leaves not only release nutrients back into the water, they cause the water to turn brown which can be unsightly. Even the "bud heads" that fall off after a pair of leaves develop must be removed because they can turn the water brown also. As for additives, i add carbonate, calcium, concentrated liquid iron and magnesium. Mangroves consume lots of iron and magnesium as far as i know so i normally double their recommended dosage. Dont forget to use some water spray on the mangrove leaves because mangroves export their salt through their leaves. Failing to do so can cause the plant to dehydrate. Currently, i have eight mangroves and one fish in the tank. The mangroves have 2-4 leaves each and are developing their next pair in a couple of weeks. My mangroves develop new leaves every three to four weeks. I will not be adding more fish until the mangroves develop their next pair of leaves. More leaves mean more nutrients absorbed.

Yeah. It was okay for about 6 months then when i left for chalet, my mum turned off the pump. When i came back, the coral was already like that. But now it should be recovering. As for the water temperature of my pond, it is constantly at 29 degrees in the day. The pond is located right beside my window which is facing west. So after 3pm everday, there will be lots of sun light shining on the mangroves. I guess the LS are adapting to the temperature well. The pond has been set up for about 4 months and so far so good. Low maintainance. No chiller. Just lights and pump. No water change also. Just topping up water and adding additives. Regards, Anonymous2294
