hi guys,
need to ask, been doing some 'experiments'(actually not experiment la..lol) with my 5 giant morimos for a few months already..
1)before this, im using mineral water and changed it every week but now since i transfered all my marimos into a my community fish tank,
they seemed, well, less fresh than before.
is it bcos if the water quality and the mineral properties inside the water itself that makes my marimo like this?
2)also, i just changed to a led type lamp for the morimos, but they(the 2 largest ones) starting to have a little bit brown spot on them.
should i use normal flourescent lamp and how get rid of those brown patches? scared they are dying... NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
3) when can a giant morimo split itself to produce a new baby morimo?
thanx

usually just wc 20-40% per week on the community tank.
temperature a bit high, average between 29-31 C.

well, it happens to me usually after i washed them and and squeeze them, some will float and some will just sink like brick.
but after a few days, they all just drop to the bottom. (must be the all the water filled inside i guess)
also, the big ones always float a few days before going down in my case
small bottles can get from gift stores, they sell things like mini sand bottle or sumthing, can use that too. check RM1-10 shop too haha |

i quarantine it,
put it in a basket, filled with mineral water, add a tiny pinch of salt
then put in a place with low-medium lighting and cool place.
putting in a refrigerator might help, if the fridge got an on 24/7 LED bright cool daylight specs.
Results after 3 months:
less and less brown patch on my super giant marimos..lol..
i dont put them in fridge, parents wont let me, so put them in fish tank with xtra fan cooler and pinch of table salt(without iodine)

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

QUOTE(alexxa_xd @ Apr 13 2012, 07:24 AM) 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

QUOTE(fishman @ Apr 16 2012, 01:12 AM) Nice tank! Only 1 Marimo? 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  QUOTE(fishman @ Apr 16 2012, 01:12 AM) 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.
