Actually I am growing mangrove trees in my sump right now.. I bought them from ebay as sprouting seedlings and they have started to take off within the last month or so.. The biggest thing I can see is that once they really start growing I'm gonna have to keep them pruned. May also have to weed them out as they grow larger as well.

I really should get some updated shots and post them.
