John I wouldnt get the mangroves. The rock will be very sturd

Concerned also of the rock that will be under the sand and sand that will be under the rocks anything that takes care of that ?

The Planaxis Snail. Because of its small size, and the shape of their shell they are able to bourrow despite heavy weight overhead. They are great for keeping away those noxious blooms in places you can get to without disturbing the tank. Other than that the snails while cool looking are to small to be much use to fight algae. Their best use is to maintain proper aeration, and clean the stuff under the rocks.
