Planted refugium

[borderreef]

I'm planning a planted refugium with mangrove and other macro. I know where to get the other macro, but I don't have much experience with online retailers selling mangrove. I've seen a few on ebay and other websites. Anyone have any insight as to where to find good quality mangrove stock? I probably only need 6-8 for the 20g sump.

Any in particular? I've seen someone selling 6 for the same price as someone selling 20. Buth sellers have good ebay reputations. What should I be looking for?

I bought my mangroves from http://toptropicals.com in Florida, they have lots of exotic tropical plants as well.

There are two types of mangrove...red and black or red and white...one grows in water and one grows terrestrially but forgot which was which... I'll go check my Marine Biology college textbook and post momentarily...

white mangroves inland...black mangrove swampy...red mangrove on water's edge.... I suspect only red is sold but this is FYI...
