Hey Fox, I think others will be able to answer the questions better than I can, but I have one piece of advice for you - start simple. Focus on giving your marimo the right kind of water and light first. The simplicity is the whole point with marimo! Unless you're an experienced aquarium owner, it's difficult to set up the right conditions for even just one type of organism. Put simply, if you decide to throw in more plants, fish, you're very likely to encounter deaths in the tank, which will then turn it into a very hostile environment for everything inside it unless you clean it up well. If you have experience or want to go ahead and try anyway, please ignore this ^^

But, based on what I've read:

2. Normal non-iodised salt will work. Leeyung says special "marimo salt" aren't anything special and just grossly marked up regular salt.
3. The fridge is for temperature, the darkness is to eliminate fast-growing unwanted algae that thrive on high amounts of light. Since the fast-growing algae have high metabolic rates, the lack of light will quickly kill them off, while the marimo is adapted to low light and grows very slowly. Use these parameters according to the state of your marimo.
4. Everywhere I've read says *any* artificial light will do, even your ceiling light. Just avoid direct sunlight, it's the #1 mistake owners seem to make. Whatever your light source, make sure it doesn't put out a lot of heat, or you could bake your marimo. Leeyung says high amounts of light encourages pearling.
6. Leeyung says use a filter, which cleans your water and incorporates fresh air into the water through agitation. The increased CO2 will encourage photosynthesis, which leads to more pearling and more rapid growth.

Good luck!

as I promised^^ I post my Marimos Photos today!
they arrived today thank you so much to Leeyung for this adorable Marimos  I really love them, the package was so nice so the marimos arrived safely and in Fresh and Green condition..(it was 5 days journey to my house^^i)

thank you for Hexane too, helping me for the payment because of you too I can get this marimos hehehehe

the decoration still temporary, I quickly put them with whatever available today

I still need to buy filter...but I still confuse which type/size I should buy hopefully I can get it soon

The lamp now is 8 watt incandescents lamp, Gonna find red/blue LED lamp too as sugested by Kaisergrendel here

My aquarium size now is 15.5x15.5x15.5 cm...still thinking about the decoration..

Photos taken using Lumix Panasonic^_^

wondering why one of them floating and the rest aren't ya?

Good Evening~my Marimo Photo today~
they Still Photosyntesi-ng tho..even the bubbles not so many..

anyway Marimo fellows, I try to put this small stones into my aquarium
I washed it for 3 days..but somehow the water still unclear everytime I washed the stones (well, not as unclear as before).
Is it possible to wash the aquarium stones until the water really clear? +_+?

Please pardon the website, but I'm set on buying this HOB filter. I've seen many people recommend this brand above all others. Could be a bit pricey to pay in ringgit though

The brand also sells all kinds of filter medium. I'm pretty comfortable with their range.

Damn, leeyung's marimo look flawless.

I tried to use gravel in my tank as well. After washing it for the 3rd time, I gave up. Just not worth the trouble, so now all that's in my tank is marimo and water, and I'm finding I quite like the look anyway. Makes cleaning easier too.

However, if you're set on using gravel, you could ask an aquarium shop to sell you existing gravel from their tanks. I did this once and boiled the gravel just to make sure I didn't import any nasties, and the water was clear.

maybe i ought to get a few more from Leeyung but dunno when
where is he btw though? in Hokkaido? getting another big super duper jumbo marimo?  [/color]

Hi guys, I'm interested to get some Marimos for my study room. I've tried pm LeeYung twice about the price but he has yet to reply them. Does anyone know another way to contact him or another seller? Much appreciated, thank you.

Can I put marimo into my existing tank below with my other fish?

it seems like one of my giant marimo going to turn into carpet soon... so sad.. i did change the water everyweek and prevent from direct sunlight..
the colour is dark green
just wondering why it still happen..?

Hi...I'm new here. Just got my nano and giant marimo from leeyung ytd. Would like to ask...other than tap water, can i use those filtered water like diamond water??

I think tap water is already okay..
I use usual water (with chlorine)=="
and yes the results is good, my Nanos all so fluffy and the texture is really improve alot..

Have you ever seen a plant that didn't shed leaves?

thank you ^^
I really fallin in love with ottos, they're relly cute, especially when they're eating or swimming hahaha

I decided to separate the marimos, because I bought the second aquarium and put them with my other Bettas
Introducing my Female Salamander Halfmoon, I need a name for her, she's really cute
loves those Nano Marimos, sometimes she sat on it wkwkwkw
She loves to swim around the Giant and Super Giant too

marimos and Bettas are really good combination

*MARIMO UPDATE*

my super Giant almosttt got the "Velvet texture" 
the touchy feels are realllyyyy softtt!
my Nano Marimos are softer than this now^__^
