One of the giant in a cup has white flakes at the bottom, it's not turning brownish or white but i notice only that guy is flaking white flakes, what are the flakes?

hi, i'm new here. lucky i am to view this marimo link. i'm recently doing research, wanna buy nano marimo...so many experts here...

do you guys have your marimo bubble everyday?

if you mean your marimo is making small bubbles everyday that means he/she is ok.
we call it pearling due to the proses of photosynthesis. this can be achive with good water and good light. gratz

is it needed for them to pearl everyday? because my light is probably not strong enough for them to pearl.

nah lol..
just give them adequate light and good water parameters is enough i guess.

IMHO, to make the marimo pearling intensively meaning you need good lighting like those in planted tanks (6500K ++ with high watt) and a good dose of CO2, which can be costly. I did that because i thought it would make them grow faster, but it didnt
For me as long they are healthy green, retain its aesthetic looks and not dead, im quite happy with the way it is.

mine, very small bubbles , wished the bubbles are bigger:

Safe to put marimo with pleco. My pleco has no interest in it at all.

small guppy tank with 18w x 3 lighting + co2.. ithink..

Got a dymax cooling fan for my Marimos. Reduce the tank's temperature from abt 30°C to 27°C.

now marimo bottles/tanks become high tech lol,
behold - turbo cooler fan by fisherman

Nice tank! Only 1 Marimo?

It's a little bit noisy though...but I should not complain as it's the cheapest I could find.
Well it still works in reducing the temperature.

hehe, let her get one first, surely, the only one marimo will later poison her to get more.
6 months ago, i got 2 of them, then add more, then add more lol...
now ,just realized theyre selling those super jumbo xxl marimo thinking of having thta one with lots of carpet marimos la

cheapest? that thing cost about 40++ right? but worth it for the marimo sake

Yes, 40++. That's the cheapest I could find ler unless DIY.
