I trimmed some of my macro algae and was going to share it with a friend. I put it into a container with an airline, some salt water, and a piece of live rock where it could wait for him to come get it.
Anyway, he came and got it. After I bagged it up for him, I left the container in my laundry room which gets plenty of light (I hadn't the time to break it all down and put it away). After a couple of days, I went to do laundry and remembered the jar. The water in it was light green. I took out the live rock, but kept the airline in. It has gotten darker.
Did I just culture phytoplankton? Is it safe to use in any of my tanks?
