i think in order to have mangroves be effective they need to be very large, I cant remember, but I think they remove phosphates through there leaves but If im not mistaken it is pretty hard to gt them to sprout leaves. But if you look on E_bay or something you can usually get them cheap

jut did a quick search, there are about 20 different sources, seem to be about a dollar apiece.

I like reefcleaners. You can get a lot of different macroalgaes from them. They sell mangrove pods. Takes a long time for them to grow out leaves though.

The mangroves will grow with a good source of light, and a deep sand bed for them to anchor to. Got mine from Two little fishies ..make sure to mist them daily with fresh water

this is what they looked like just before I took down the reef
