Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.Comment

I hate them. Have fun with the clado outbreak later.

Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places?

Cladophora is the algae that the balls are made of. It eventually colonizes other areas of the tank and is a Royal PITA to get rid of once it does. NIMTOriginally posted by algarciajr View Post

I love them balls! *snicker*
No, seriously- they are pretty neat. I love how they were discovered in Iceland, but have ended up with folklore status in Japan- there is a story of star-crossed lovers whose hearts turned to marimo, and supposedly if you take good care of one, your wishes will come true, and...there's even a Marimo character or two, complete with merchandising of course!

+1 to this, i hate the things except in shrimp tanks now. i think high light makes them disintegrate, my hand picked cool patterned ironwood is now a blanket of green fuzz and the stuff is constantly getting caught around plant stems in the substrate. the ancistrus keep it mowed on the wood so it kinda short and it looks okay but the constant vacuuming of the substrate is REALLY annoying. once this stuff roots its impossible to get rid of and most things wont eat it.Originally posted by wesleydnunder View Post75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish

Funny you mention this Mark, I did some searching on this cause I was worried about dosing and injecting the tank and how these would do in the presence. There was no talk about outbreaks, releasing spores or anything, only mention that was brought up over several discussions was that the marimo balls out compete the tanks other algae problems! In my tank i had some ferns with serious clado and recently the stuff was losing color and easily brushed off.Originally posted by wesleydnunder View Post700g Mini-Monster tankComment

Q has small green balls.
So I'm still surprised Excel isn't making them brown out. I watched it happen several times around in a friend's tank. Hm. They look good tho!All bleeding stops eventually...Comment
