So I the macro algae would most likely live, but not grow enough for good nutrient export. Is there any macro algae that are known to do well in low salinity. I am still curious .

Also would mangroves do a good enough job to handle a fairly heavily stocked 55 gallon. If so how many plants would I need, and of what type?

BTW the skimmer works great in the low salinity !!!!!!
