Notes about mangroves:
Keep an eye on your magnesium level, its used as the salt pump to help remove the salt from the mangroves. Its not salt creep but extruded salt that needs to be rinsed off.
If your buying pods that already have roots make sure they were grown in saltwater. A fresh water grown mangrove will have a hard time acclimating to saltwater.
Red mangroves are the most salt resistant, followed by blacks then whites.
Not all fuge bulbs will work. I used 16 watt cfl bulbs for awhile and saw my mangroves wasting away, but when i upgraded to a 42 watt cfl i started getting great growth.
I have personally ordered from bambo-dynasty on ebay and was really upset with what i got, I ordered from http://stores.aquaculturenurseryfarms.com/-strse-PLANTS/Categories.bok and got amazing jaw dropping trees. He also has an ebay store http://stores.ebay.com/AQUACULTURE-FARMS

Its hard to see but the 2 mangroves on the far left are from bamboo-dynasty, the rest of them on the right came from aquaculture farms.

The leaves and growing tips were bent over to be crammed into to small of box, they slowly died off. I originally ordered 15, i have 2 with leaves left and 1 that has dropped all its leaves and is on the way out the door like the rest of them. I have lost 0 from aquaculture farms.
