I have a good variety of mangroves here ready to go. I just need to get them into another tank and start raising the salinity, and then start looking for some of those interesting brackish fish.

Hey here is some more headway.

I love the look of that white aragonite sand.

Hey I got another quick picture here!

This is another really great mangrove species that I plan to use in the tank, white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa). I currently have it going in my 11-4G riparium setup but it is growing fast and getting too big for that tank. It has these great paddle-shaped rubbery leaves.
