Howdy,

They weren't sure what to think of it, but I used tongs + tongs w/ scissors to get everything out

The floating plants are Ceratopteris thalictroides and Hydrocotyle leucocephala. The grass is Sagittaria subulata or Echinodorus tenellus. Those are the viable plants I throw out regularly. I have quite high lighting, but they should also do just fine under lower lighting conditions. Probably less proliferative but they should survive just fine. Rest are Echinodorus and Crinum clippings.

Seriously, if I can make anyone's day with a RAOK, just let me know. I am not interested in shipping simply because of the hassle with packaging, postage, and heat packs. But if you want to meet somewhere around, e.g. at the Shark Aquarium - I'm game. Just let the plants grow back and I can hand you a bag of green matter :) Shoot me a PM in a month or two and we'll meet up. (Now point in dropping me a line right now, because I obviously just weeded ;))

HarleyK, I have already setup an alarm in my cell phone to pm you next month for some green. :)
