Hey RC, I picked up some local red mangroves from the beach two weeks ago. Since then, I have had them in a home depot bucket with freshwater. I added some organic and decomposing material to the water to make it brickish..lol Im growing them for my sump and wanted to help the mangroves mature faster.. so far some have started to mature with roots coming through the bottom.
So my question is, leave them in the bucket or add them to the lake in my back yard? Like create a styrofoam platform and anchoring platform on the shore? Would adding them to a more natural habitat be better?
I'll try and get some pics up but you get the idea.. any help would be appreciated and happy reefing!
