Very nice. As another wise person said before...I have everything envy. We have four propagules that have pretty red roots but no shoots yet. I'm not quite sure what we will do with them. We originally planned to grow them down in our fuge, but with the turf scrubber, it's getting pretty busy down there. I love how you have mangrove by your show tank, but we have no room. Anyway, it looks great.

I can't remember...are the two tanks plumbed together?

 

[scubabum1983]

they are plumbed together. its a slow flow though.

 

[scubabum1983]

are you misting them. also i started mine in a tuppoware in substrate. then once they got going i moved them to the bamboo posts,

Is the plan that they will develop root structure that will reach down to the bed? It will be very cool if you get a nice maze of roots for critters to live in.

http://live-plants.com/ i cant say enough good things about them. i called the guy about an issue i thought i had. he answered his phone and talked to me for a half hour. his portions of algae are generous. his shipping was very fair and his packaging was the best ive ever seen. and ive used other places.
