free chaeto

[speg]

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?

 

[speg]

Well.. if you live in Cali and me in FL I don't think it'll get much further than that I've never seen you posting on these boards though

 

[hunt]

how har is too far, i might be interested in trying some for my 1g

 

[speg]

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.

[hunt]

[speg]

Will it grow under incandescent lights?
If not, ill just put it in my DT

 

[shrimpy brains]

It will grow under almost any light! I'll guinea pig for you, if you want more tests?

 

[shrimpy brains]

Heck, I'll send you some if you want, then you will see first hand. If interested, pm your addy to me!

 

[speg]

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.

i got it today. It is in pretty good condition, i put some in the 1g and some in the 29g. I took pics of it but ill have to upload them later(tonight or tommarrow) because im going places tonight(TGIF).
Thanks speg, all looks well and ill putup pics asap

 

[speg]

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.
