No issues what so ever with smell. I have more Mangroves coming in, just added another today. Going to get some Black and White Mangroves and a couple more Red mangroves.
Yes tried the Knight Goby, any idea's on what fish would work in the water area? One that doesn't lay around and let crabs eat em.
can u list tank size salinity, were u bought the stuff and all that? im really interested in this...

Tank size is 30g (36x12x16) salinity sits between .008 to .012. Sand you can get basically anywhere, I use play sand from Home Depot. I had a glass top cut for the top of my tank with a notch cut for the cords. Since they need it to be very humid. Background is slate tiles 3 12x12. The sandbar is made from great stuff foam, silicon and egg crate (light fixture stuff). Cut the egg crate to where I wanted it, sprayed on the GSF, after it dried I then spread the silicon on it and poured sand on top of it then sealed it.
Waterfall is actually an internal filter that sits behind the sandbar. with built up slate to cover it up. Also have leca balls that surround the filter where it sits. The mangroves I get from a LFS. So that is basically it, if you have any other questions just ask
