Red Mangroves

[Macbeth417]

Can someone give me a url/site with good information on Mangroves. Also where can I pick them up?

I am considering keeping some in the center section of my sump.

Here is your info: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/mangrovetrees.htm

The best place and value will be from the guy that sells them on eBay. Not sure of his name, but if you do a search for it (probably on ReefCentral) you should be able to get the information to order them. I think you get a dozen for around $19 including shipping.

Mike are you closing down your mangrove refugium, or do you have extra because they've reproduced? -Larry

Hey Mike,
I would like to get 2-3 to put at the store as novelty items. I think it would be cool to let them get 4-5' tall.

Regards,
Kevin

Mike,

Is there anyway I could pick up some at the Calfo talk or would you prefer I come by and get them?

Check out www.garf.org - they also sell them pretty cheap as well.

The eBay guy is user "721", email is HUROVB001@hawaii.rr.com. I just bought some plants from him. Was $17.99 for ten 8-12" plants including shipping to Kirkland. Talk on Reef Central is that he sprouts the seeds in freshwater, so you might want to acclimate them slowly. I didn't, and the leaves have fallen off, but I'm told they'll recover in a month or two. -Larry
