Saltwater plants

[oceankid]

Saltwater are dangerous to plants, if you dump your water on your garden, plants will die.
Is there any plants that grow in saltwater?
What plant should I put in my saltwater?

Just search saltwater plants in google and you will get tons of plants and macros.
Id post a link, but they are all competitive sites

Asparagus plants like salt, they actually originated from the ocean.

Mangroves
Do you have something against macroalgaes? You really aren't going to be able to find very many plants from an LFS that you can use.

none of these are vascular plants...they're all macro algaes. most of our setups contain some type of live macro:

I though you were maybe thinking of putting your waste saltwater on plants

Those set-ups are beautiful, whooh, my son wants a lion fish I want a seahorse tank. Thank you

Does saltwater plants hard to maintain?

 

[pezenfuego]

Macroalgaes (kingdom protista) are simple as are mangroves (kingdom plantae).

we have some tanx that will grow anything in terms of macro, and some that only grow certain ones. i usually try what i have in mind, and see what a given tank will support, then go from there. ATM, we don't keep any vascular plants, as they tend to require more attention than we want to give them. with 14 SW setups, we need EASY...

there's a lionfish for almost any tank size, and they're all beautiful (we have five specimens ATM). that volitans you see outgrew 3 tanx (6, 24, 60), and even the 100 gal it's in is a bare minimum, IMHO.
SH are another issue entirely...not hard to keep but they DO have a specific set of requirements that must be met, and you need to start with TRUE CB stock (not the so-called TR specimens you see in most LFS).

Thanks Saxman, maybe down the road a lionfish. The pictures of your tanks are amazing the macroalea with the horses are cool, never seen these at the LFS up here in Canada. I would like to start a horse tank and have these kind of macroalgeas in them. I will have to do alot of research and keep reading threads here. Thank you

 

[saxman]

if you decide to do SH, we know a guy in Canada who is doing very well with them (he's breeding H. reidi ATM), so give us a shout.
BTW, Renee/Cranberry is a Newfie...

Does that mean, - she only knows three spices - salt, pepper and ketchup, she knows which leaves make good toilet paper. Est.
