Hello,
I currently have a brackish paludarium with mudskippers in it, I used a lot of driftwood and cork bark in the design of the tank. It looks really good in my opinion; but the wood and especially the cork bark really turn the water yellow even though i soaked them for a good while and after being in the tank for a few months. This isnt a problem because it forces me to do water changes regularly, otherwise my room stinks like cork. I am however throwing out a lot of water (those mudskippers could outcrap a goose). My lfs has started carrying red mangrove seedlings, and I want to put one in a smallish aquarium and grow it as a house plant. My question for you is, can I put my old mudskipper water in the tank with the red mangrove to provide it with more nutrients, or would it just be better to use freshly made brackish water?
