About a month ago I decided to try and create for our Aquarium a super-dooper twin-terbo living-breathing biological-filter incorporated into the open-topped aquascape. So far I bought a Black mangrove plant [avicennia geminans] from Tunze which hasn't arrived yet .. along with some zeolite for a net pot [to sprout any propagules of the black mangrove that i might come across in august] 5x Red mangrove propagules [rhizophora mangle] from Guadeloupe .. 1x Red mangrove rooted propagule from Exeter that looks more purple than red .... 20x White mangrove seed propagules [Laguncularia racemosa] from Guadeloupe .. (sown about 17 hours ago and one already "germinated" and sprouted :3 3x Freshwater mangrove seed/propagules [Barringtonia racemosa] from Thailand which also haven't arrived yet. I figured I would create a thread to compile all the info I used to learn and have somewhere to post any excitement, failures or progress I get on the path to Mangrovia . It was really nice to find that Rhizophora mangle is the mangrove that can be grown attached to a rock or wood / hard decor and is the most common/ easiest to source http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?/gallery/album/930-mangrovia-3/ ...well one white mangrove propagule seems to like me so far :3 and I was going in blind .. so I guess I just figured the best way to germinate them in my setup .. is much like the other species growing advice .. :- keep the growing tip above the water level - although this seems to be stricter for some and less so for others perhaps? ... we shall see eh?
