What happens when they start to open mouth like pac man? Keep pressing won't make them stick back.

Crystal stone is actually natural stone that we can put into your aquarium to purify the water. But for marimo tank, recommend to go for coral stone/sand as it controlling your water PH level well.

I accidentally put my marimo on the window sill on morning till 12pm today. I went out thinking that today weather was cloudy. and when i come back, it was quite sunny. I have an awning for that window. Its not really sunny but theres still light. I dunno if its me but my marimo looked less green.

And there's a small gap (butt line my sister called it) on one of my nano marimo. I wonder why suddenly theres a gap there.

Did i just kill it? T_T

I realize that my Marimo has some brown spots when I squeeze it dry during washing. It was like that when I received it and I thought it was normal. And it has gaps in between too.. What should I do? Is it dead already?

try this..really takes a long time, be patient @@
about the gaps, sorry i can't help u.. ><

The gap might be signs of it becoming a carpet marimo @.@ if its green, then its alive haha~
and am not sure which salt can use, table salt (human eats) or sea salt (for aqua livings) @.@
coz from wat I googled, seems like we cant use table salt as it'll kill living beings underwater ^^"

UH OH. i just did that last week, pinching from my kitchen's salt jar.
/runs and does emergency water-change pronto

however, i do notice that my marimos float better (and longer) after the salt bath. hmm.

dunno bout you guys,
i am currently using non-iodized and contains no additives table salt (not the normal table salt)
works fine by me since they are almost the same as aquarium salt.
but if u have doubts and cut the hassle, just buy an aquarium salt, much easier but they charge you a bit pricey for one lol

i'm using table salt wo...not a prob i think.
noticed some brown/black fur on my big marimo @@
plz recover fast T.T

Depends what kind of salt, like LuQee's, need to be non-iodized and contains no additives table salt @.@ can see wat content ur salt has.

most of my nano marimo are carpet marimo :'D How to avoid them becoming carpet marimos? wanted to keep them round if possible ><

^ err how yours become a carpet?
i really wanted to buy a carpet from leeyung..but not enuff budget (<----sad face)
scared if i cut them open to make them carpet, they starts to become brown patches then later die..
owh noes~

haha mine jz became "pacman" on the 1st few days I received them @.@ bought 5, 4 of them became carpet T.T
Not sure how they become carpet, the way I keep them? @.@ though I think is similar to how u guys keep them ^^"
lol yea, cannot cut them forcefully, it'll kill them ><
owh~~ and I really wanted the ball-shape marimo hahaha~ :'D

Great Marimos you have

No problem for table salt, either table salt or synthetic salt will do, regarding ur carpet issue, this is actually been discussed in this thread post #866, kindly refer there for more info (to avoid duplication questions posted )

Just let me know when you have sufficient budget but I cant guarantee the stock availability ya , cutting ur marimo to become carpet is too risky bro, mostly will die, this experiment had been done before

why dont you contact ur seller about this?

@leeyung : haha read post #866 already, dun really understand ^^" all I learnt is its normal to becoming carpet marimo hmm
And contacting the seller? Good question but I wouldn't know how to/what to ask? lol~~~ since my marimos still green, thought is ok coz still alive @.@ Still a very beginner in rearing marimo ><

If you guys squeeze the bigger ones in a bowl of water instead of running tap, it's easier to clean out inside dirt & water. 1 of them can cause the whole bowl of water to turn brown greenish. Once you think it's cleaned then take out & squeeze the whole thing until most water come out. This should pretty much clean out the insides i hope.

hi guys ~ just receive my marimo from leeyong ^^

May i know, what light bulb is require for marimo? thinking to put them into 3 feet aquarium.

any kind of light other than UV light. marimo is not a light demanding plant
