I just stick mine down in the gravel in the tanks. They do lots of sunshine.

Subject: NANFA-L-- using mangrove roots


Hi Folks


Heading down to the Keys in February and thought about bringing back
mangrove root wad for my freshwater aquarium. I can usually find nice narly
pieces along the shore .... not sure if they are seasoned enough but look
pretty nice nonetheless ....


Has anyone used mangrove roots in there aquarium...do they rot easy/fast


Also, I saw where seeds (propagules ???) can be placed in styrofoam-in-the
surface, allowing the plant to grow out the top and the roots to grow into
the aquarium. Has anyone done this and how long does it take to get
established?


Mike (using Lori's computer)
