    I have considered mangroves, but:
    1) they grow pretty tall, being trees and all Â*:)
    2) need "nutritious" substrate, which I don't want to mess with right now
    3) need a lot of light
    4) was really designing this around the gobies, and they're naturally from seagrass/oyster reef habitats

    But it was a hard decision not to try the mangroves! And actually, the marshes along 45 are where I got my hermit crab and marsh snail! After I set up the tank, I'll assess what else I might be able to add, then a little safari might be in order!

    And thanks for the info on Armand Bayou - didn't know that!

    I'm thinking that's a good plan, ek, to make a sloping wall of barnacles. Good idea for the pump, I'll try that.

    Now my only problem is finding more barnacles. OR...does anyone know if grocery stores sell oyster shells? Like, in bulk? Or know where I could get some? I could do an oyster reef surrounded by a wall of barnacles, or something to that effect.
    Many Seafood companies have oyster shells. Check with some of them. You can probably get some very cheap or free.
