I am getting ready to do a lagoon build. I have a couple of mangrove shoots I want to incorporate into the build. What I planned to do was plant them in containers with miracle mud and cover with substrate. This is in hopes to give the trees plenty of nutrients, better ground to take root in and keep the miracle mud in one place to to influence the nitrates in the water as little as possible. Has anyone tried this? Or do I need the miracle mud at all? I plan on mostly gorgs, grasses, and macro algeas to be in this tank, however there will be a few LPS such as an enormous Favia I have and a quite large wellso, perhaps even a few shrooms. The tank inhabitants will be a mated pair of sea horses, hermit crabs, and maybe other sea horses down the road. Perhaps another pair of mandarins as well. This is not a new tank, but a well established tank that is getting a make over. All the water and current substrate will remain.
