SELLING> MANGROVE SHOOTS

[Xantherius]

Hey fellow reefers. I’ve a few mangrove shoots for sale.

 

Utilizing mangrove plants for filtration in a saltwater aquarium, particularly for helping to reduce and control nitrates, is not a new concept. It has been around for quite some time, but few aquarists have known much about it.

 

Any would like to explore or are looking for a natural method of filtration for their aquariums?

Can give this a try.

 

$20 for 1 shoot

 

mangroves in the wild naturally grow in mud, it is not essential for their growth. They can be grown very efficiently in a sump, refugium, or directly in an aquarium. Fed by absorbing nutrients and organic materials from the water, live mangroves naturally create a filter for cleaning water.

This morning while walking along East Coast Beach on my way to Changi beach, I saw a lot of $20 notes lying on the beach.

Am I dreaming or they are mangrove shoots?

Applies to those who sell zoa and yuma frag.... Buy 1 colony and frag out to sell. Anyway, willing buyer and willing seller.

Also mangroves are really slow nutrient exporters and slow growers in captivity. Chaeto is far superior. The draw is more of aesthetics and novelty factor. Singapore used to host many mangrove colonies and you can find them readily which is probably why LFS don’t stock them. Also they get pretty huge. Not the greatest considering limited space at home for most here.

I needed to plant more than a dozen mangroves to get any sort of nitrate/phosphate control and that’s only for a 1.5ft cube tank with average stocking.

Just my 2c.
Would still plant mangroves cause growing them out with an underwater display would look stunning if you had the space for em

Exactly how I would phrase it. I couldn’t say it any better myself.

Let me add. The airspace above the sumps or iOS are extra space to utilise. By the way your mangrove tank looks great.

Disclaimer: for whose have extra money to spare and would like to give this novelty a try. Do pm me.
