Second one looks really juicy inside. I'd like to try it.

[melev]

Wow, you win for the biggest one I've ever seen. :eek2:

[BuddhaKiss]

I don't know whether to congratulate on such an impressive assortment of bubble algae... Or offer my sympathies. LOL

[michellejy]

That is impressive and horrifying at the same time. It also helps to put my bubble algae issues into perspective. :lol:

[spleify]

:lol: :lol: hahaha! Poor Marc gets so much undeserved crap on the forums.

That's a lot of valonia there, just looking at it makes me shudder. I removed another handful just last night.

I think I'm finally starting to win the fight though, the latest valonia growths are stunted, tiny, misshapen, and sparse. Last weekend I replaced a full pound of phosphate remover media and I fasted my fish one night.

I was just thinking about this thread and Rich's huge .... valonia.... :lol: I guess I need to ask the obvious question: "Why didn't you pull it out sooner? Were you wanting to see how big it could get?"


There - I said it. Make more fun of me. :D

Not Valonia, it's Ventricaria.
