  • I was growing it very well using hydroponics and grow lights in my garage, but when I took it out to the greenhouse algae took over and maintenance became a burden. I have a few little bits floating in an aquarium now. I need to figure out how to raise it without so much work, but the fish do like it!

    Dennis used to sell it for $5 for, maybe, 1/8 to 1/4 cup. That's all you need to start. Treated well, it can nearly double daily.

    • I just gave a big bag of it to Cindy over at Harvest Hydroponics.  If she can't hook you up, give me a yell.  I clean that stuff out of my fish tanks every couple weeks or more.  and there is always left overs.

       

    • Thanks Byron.  I found some duck week at Phoenix Tropical Fish and have a great supply now.  I appreciate your reply.
  • I got mine from Phoenix tropical fish, they sometimes have it. The fish will decimate it, so be sure to keep it in a separate tank. I don't have any right now, it took a nose dive this summer, I'm not sure why.
  • Try Dennis from the Garden Pool. Not sure if he sells it or not but, he is the only guy I know for sure that has some.
