I can't wait to try this. I just got some for my local fish friend on marketplace.
FINALLY I FOUND THIS VIDEO.. will make one for my shrimp tank
Thanks for this video! I wanted something like this in my shrimp tank for moss but was using tubing. Needles to say it didn't work well. The rope is perfect and much easier to manage. I sowed some suction cups to it and it looks fantastic. Can't wait for the moss to grow in!
Wow i never thought this plant is as gorgeous as this
Love these subwassertang ropes!! The rope is alot smaller than I thought it would be. Very cool and thanks for sharing! Gonna have to try this sometime.

I really love the subwassertang ropes! They are beautiful. The ones in your tank there remind me of a kelp forest! Which I always thought were so beautiful. I'd love to have these ropes. I have a well, and my water is high Ph, of usually 8.4. I think it is probably hard too. Would the subwassertang live and thrive in those conditions? Thanks for the video. No problem seeing what your hands were doing at all. Subscribed. :)

Hi. I love how all your tanks are looking. I just found your channel. Do you inject any co2 into your tanks?
Looks like a miniature Kelp forest.
if you turn it over around 1/2 way/ a little earlier it wont have a daringly bit you've already done dragging on your hand, a little less cumbersome and possibly less stress on plant :)

Very nice tip! By the way, its German "Süßwassertang" in more common English spelling "Suesswassertang". The term was meant to describe the sea water macroalgae-like apperance while being able to grow in fresh water (German Süßwasser).

I used Safeguard (dewormer for dogs). Others have used Panacur liquid form. The one I bought is in powder form. It's main ingredient is fenbendazole. I used a pinch and ground it in water more as it doesn't dissolve properly. I dosed my 10g shrimp tank to kill hydra and planaria. It's been a week and haven't seen any signs of hydra nor planaria. Shrimp and snails are ok. Here's the article about it. All credit goes to the poster. I hope posting link here is fine? Iwww.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/library/52784-planaria-hydra-elimination-shrimp-tanks.html I didn't do water change until 3 days after I dosed my tank. No death that I know of except hydra and planaria. :D
