Red mangrove... thoughts?

It makes me want to set this up:

Except it would have a slate background, more mangroves, and a lot of mudskippers.
 
I grew them when I had my salt systems. I harvested a bunch right down the street from me. I set up a plastic tub about 20 gal with shallow water and connected it to my system kinda like a sump but more like a natural filter. I had about 30 plants. They are fun to grow. I used like 80 watts, shop light works well. I even ran a fan across them during daylight for a natural effect.

Ah, to live in Florida :grinyes: Thanks for sharing your experience with them; it sounds like they were pretty easy to handle.
