Mangrove Forest - 245L Brackish Riparium

I got a few plant specimen shots while putting this thing back together.

Here's the Acrostichum leather fern.

A couple more plant specimen shots.

The impressive root system of Laguncularia white mangrove

I got a quick snapshot to show the fish selection in here. You can see the Poecilia latipinna, Fundulus confluentus and Cyprinodon variegatus. The Jordanella floridae are shy and they hide whenever I go near the tank.

I really like these C. variegatus.

Here's another new update. I'm trying to get some better pictures for a magazine article about this tank.

Thanks you guys!

That Pandanus tectorius is one of my favorite plants. And it's perfect for a brackish mangrove setup.
 
Here's one of the quick shots that I got last week. I really like the plants in here a lot, especially the Pandanus.

Can you please sow me how you affixed the plants in the back? I really want to do this with my dwarf puffer tank.

The plants are all plnted in riparium hanging planters.
 
Hi all,
Is there a particular brand or type you would recommend?
Hydrophyte is the seller of "Riparium Supplies" planters in the USA. <Tank Planters | Riparium Supply>.
Unfortunately I think he still doesn't have a UK re-seller? Making postage fairly expensive. <Have you seen the latest design from Riparium Supply? | UK Aquatic Plant Society>

I've tried with some cheap clear plastic "shower basket" from Ebay , they worked OK, but the suckers are hopeless. Neodymium magnets, or a hook over the tank side, would be better.

cheers Darrel
 
Thanks loads for that. I was looking at the Duzzit kitchen tidy thingies and might upgrade the suckers or just try the supplied ones at first. It would be my first foray into this.
