outside mangrove saltwater pond?

[karimwassef]

I'm in Dallas, so weather can get a little extreme.

I like mangroves and have been thinking of running a line from the reef into a 100 gal container in the backyard (at the sump level, but thermally heatsunk into the ground). Put a portable greenhouse on it.. sand and mangroves.

that's essentially it to make a DIY mangrove filter powered by the TX sun.

thoughts?

I did the Same thing to a window seal from a freshwater aquarium hadn't thought about the salt side yet.

thought about doing the same as a summer frag tank extension here in STL...... never been industrious enough to make it happen though.

Ok. So it looks like no detractors so far...

I would LOVE to make a greenhouse mangrove but I have no idea where to start or if it would even work. Keep me posted!

I think it'd be ok. Just cover the tree's in cold weather, and it should be fine.

That what the greenhouse is for. The water will be warmer than the air in the winter so I expected condensation inside the greenhouse too.
