whats the ideal mangrove setup?

[nwappleby]

I have a small refuge, so I might look at putting them into another tank not connected to the main tank. what would be ideal?

how much water? salinity? iron? magnesium? waterflow? creatures?

thanks

The mangroves typically available to the trade are pretty adaptable. If I was going to set up a mangrove habitat type tank, my inclination would be use slightly brackish water, supplement iron, maintain normal magnesium levels, alk, etc, modest water flow and stock some little fish and shrimp. Maybe even some corals that are known to occur in that habitat.
