It's funny I see those on docks and the seawall in the bay over here near Tampa, I don't know anything about them but I'm almost 100% sure they are the same, so with that I assume they like DIRTY water, our bay water is green you can't see more than 12" in most spots.I’m at the fish store and see these beautiful sponges. I know they need to be fed phytoplankton constantly or they will slowly starve. If it dies will it nuke a tank? Is it a bad idea? Thoughts?
Yes they do come from Florida a lot of time! They never stop growing either lol.
Thank you! I’ll be ordering some Sponge Power! The reviews are promising.ChaetoGrow does not have silicates and sponges need silicates.

PS: Eight years ago, I grew Gracilaria Parvispora, Red Ogo, commercially in Austin for Chinese restaurants and had it analyzed at a regional agriculture lab:

P-3 SUPER COMPLETE $35.00 Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, Zinc, Iron, Manganese, Copper, Molybdenum, Boron, Chloride

Zn @ 139 ppm
Fe @ 107 ppm
Mn @ 20 ppm
Cu @ 7.0 ppm
Note: When make up well water was analyzed, Cu was below detectable limit of 0.01ppm. I say algae is a sponge for heavy metals.
I’m getting some of this on Wednesday instead.ChaetoGrow does not have silicates and sponges need silicates.
