Just showing ya my mangrove tank in the works. I have a total of 4 total Red Mangroves, have some White and Black Mangroves on the way. Any other critiques are welcomed. This is home to my mudskippers and crabs. (4th was just added 2 days ago so no pic of that one)

Wow i like it... ALOT!

can you give us some specs on the tank.. filter, light, etc..

How do you keep the left side (sand) from falling into the right side..?

Thanks a ton! It's a 30g (36x12x16) filter is one of those internal filters which is making the waterfall. I have a divider underneath the sand and also that rock is blocking it as well. t5 light which is mounted at the top of the tank stand. Here is a full stand shot. My frog tank is underneath about to get a new tank to match the size of the skipper tank.

nice. Do you plan to (try to) keep the mangroves small by pinching and pruning?

I have several red mangroves in my tanks. My largest are almost 30" tall now and sticking out of a 90G.
