Mangroves work really well, but grow fast. I had mine in refugium that was plumbed into the main tank. Leave a leaf or two, but clip ALL the rest. Also, this thing is a tree...it will get large, so expect to replace them when they get too big with the seedlings again. You can prune it a few times, but it gets thicker as it ages. Some great deals can be had on Ebay (I think the last time I got 10 stalks for $10, plus $8 shipping). There are more efficient nutrient exports that are less maintenance (though small trees sprouting form your fuge definitely is a conversation starter)...Oh and if you happen to have a seahorse tank, they seem to really like hanging on to them...
yeah my fuge became a seahorse tank after I found a pair of starving seahorses at Pet Club....

yes they are very fast growing tree. I have them for less than 5 month and they are twice as tall as when i got them in(i pay $9.99 and plus $10 shipping for 25 of them). They are very good of exporting nutrient from the tank but it need like a month for it to root down and start to works. I have cut down on water change from 2 times a month to every 3 weeks now. I have a very high load of fish and coral all to the max in the 75 gallons. one thing that i have try to keep it from over grow is used only 12 hours lighting. Hope this is help and if you want the pics please email me at cuongvp03@yahoo.com.
