Ok, as promised, this is what the mangroves look like now (freshwater tank, but should actually do a bit better in brackish. Flowering plant is one in the same family as African violets). I know most folks use small tanks, so I doubt you'd fit more than one per.

'Batophora oerstedi' is apparently another plant/algae that can survive in brackish conditions:

Is this a picture of your tank?

I wish you luck. My Microsorum pteropus 'Philippine' didn't last long.

No that foto its from the net, behind that gigantic Nymphaea stellata bulb you can see some of my Samolus, they grow really well for me
