Still in the planning stages of my new stand for my 40 Breeder, that will have at least 2 20L sumps in it.
Had the idea of mangroves. I have 10 right now, and they are cool, but not nearly enough to do any real filtering. Nonetheless, they are growing VERY well.
So this give me an idea. What if I ditched the skimmer (might still keep it, but not sure, not the main reason for doing this), and filled both 20L sumps with mangroves. About 100 per sump. For a 40B, would that be enough to say the heck with the skimmer? Also, what are your thoughts on this idea in general?
The stand will be fairly tall, so that would allow for a lot of growth. Although a benefit, nutrient export would not be the main goal. Quite frankly, it would be really cool not only to open of the cabinet and see 200 mangroves, but to also be able to say that all these mangroves are the only filter and "equipment" other then some bare necessities.
