Attention MPLS MAN

Just reading about your mangrove set up. How deep in the chamber do you plant them below the surface. Also in what, pots with gravel or into a sand bed. Did you raise them from seed or small established plants. Top idea, I am very interested to hear from you. Any other info. would be appreciated greatly.

I bought them from the lfs as adult plants, I placed them in pots with Kent Marine biosediment (mud) CC and sand, they are about 1" below the water level. here is a pic if this helps. for lighting i have a 13 watt jebo refugium light, that is on 12 hrs.

Thanks heaps for the reply MPLS MAN, good to see exactly how you did it. Makes a big difference with a photo. I am definatly going to have a go at them. There are heaps of seeds floating down the river over here in spring, so I am going to collect some and try from seed. They are protected here so you cannot buy advanced plants as you did. Thanks again, Dirk
