Maggroves

Can they be grown in a new system? The sand will be coming out of a established tank, but was no tsure if they can grow in a new system?

For someone with experience growing them, who understands their needs, and is familiar with dosing various nutrients then I would say no problem, but if this is your first attemp I would recommend allowing the sand bed and overall tank to mature a bit.

ur best bet is to use mud. u only need to change it after 2 years and once a year after that. it is better than sand escpecialy for a new tank

mangrove grow just fine with no substrate. system new or old dosnt matter . I have some that the roots are just in mid water,they are doing great. I would keep an eye on your magnesium levels

They do best in a nutrient-rich substrate, but will survive in new tank or without substrate.

So how much of the stock should be out of the water?
