What is your technique to add spirulina to that rock? Looks like a lot to feed?

It looks more than it is because it is concentrated on a relatively small spot. Just take a stone make it wet put powder on it (if it does not soak through I use an atomizer to sprinkle some water on top as well). Let it dry. Et voilà you got a spirulina coated stone. It sticks to the surface pretty nicely.

Well maybe it's a little much this time :smile:

Got it. So you take out the rock to do this each time.

Sure. But I do it rarely. It's more of a treat.

Thanks buddy! I guess I will try macroalgae! I was thinking of trying to find some ditch-grass. But the nearest spot to get is in the north of Germany some 1000 ks away... It also may grow to large.
