free chaeto

Years ago I sent a small clump to my aunt in Ohio and the stuff arrived well. I can't remember how I shipped it though! I wanted to clip some of mine and attempt sending it regular mail to see how well it would arrive.

It's a very small amount since it's in my nano. Would anybody be interested in helping me test this? It's absolutely free on your part-I'd rather it be someone who uses these boards often and can report to me how well or not-so-well it worked.

I volunteer. I think it would be cool to test this. Well then again it all depends how far it is traveling right?

No, it's not an issue of being too far.. I've just never seen him on these boards before.. I wanted to give it to someone that would actually let me know quickly how well or unwell it did.

Sent a small amount of chaeto to Hunt. We'll see how it arrives with snail-mail.

If it does decent I think I'll just offer up freebies to swf.com members when I'm ready to harvest.

Np! I'm glad it looks good. I'm sorry it's not a ton, but I only have a nano-sized amount and I just wanted to see how well it would work.

If you could let me know if it's growing so we know it survived that would be appreciated :) oh and pics when you can. Thanks.
