    From what ive read on a couple of sites you need 1 Mangrove per 2 Gallons of water to really get the benifit of them. that would be around 150 of them:eek:

    I have a 50 Gall. big round and short container and I am thinking about getting mangroves to put in it and add to my system.

    Anybody know where to buy in bulk?
    I would hope i could get a better deal that way
    or is that way overkill and I wouldn't need that many?

    I would say overkill but the best place to talk to is reefcleaners.org, I would call them and they could advise you and probably give you a great deal. I've yet to see an unhappy customer of theirs

    Talk to Luna--He can harvest them and send them to you for the cost of shipping. I dont know if they are still in season, or if he nwill charge you anything.

    Could you let me know what you find? I'm in need of bout 30 mangroves myself. We could split shipping costs.

    +1, for a 300 gallon tank like 20-30 should be fine. Mix it with some chaeto and you should be good to go.
