salt water plants

what kind of requriments are needed for palnts

 

its good that your researching first cause some plants can be as tough as coral to keep

 

heres a site with some of the wanted marine plants they got a pretty decent description of each.
Saltwater aquarium refugium , marine plants, algaes, nitrate reduction

 

I keep mangroves, shoal grass and macro in my display refugium. Here is a link:

Please keep us posted (w/ pics!) on what you end up growing.

 

There are many different kinds of algae and plants,all have about the same basic requirements....but it depends on what your plans are for the tank.Is this going to be in a display tank?Is this tank going to be a fuge or are you intrested in an algae tank,or are you planing to do a seagrass bed?
Knowing what your intrested in doing will help us alot.For instance,lighting over an algae tank can be much less than mangroves or seagrass.

 

Light, nutrients in the form of nitrates and phosphates and a good place to grow the plants, with a small amount of chelated iron!

 

i want to have a bunch of sea grass on the bottom what do i need ?
