    I had some in one of my breeding cubes, and it grew really well, and it wasn't even with CO2 or extreme lighting! Just PFP! It just grew and grew! I only had a small amount to start with though, and never got the chance to spread it!

    Cheers
    G!

    Altum is struggling with internet access / PC access at the moment. Best is to actually give him a call.... or sms...
