Has anyone grown this on purpose in their macroalgae tank? Trying to decide how I should set it up in my system.

Heard it can be rather invasive but for the purpose of a macro tank it isn't a problem for me. I've read a couple research papers to understand it's life cycle and uses. Pretty good read on helping reduce cow farts.

Just want some first hand expierences from people not trying to nuke it.
 
Mine comes in today so we'll see how it goes. I'll put pictures up for sure when it's here. The attached video is from the supplier.

So there was some shipping delay but I'm acclimating now. I might tumble half the culture and the other half figure out a way to fasten it down in my grow out tank.

Very fuzzy and detailed.

Was told tumble culture would be best for this stage and to repeat the cycle? The supplier was very cryptic about farming techniques since it is an active research effort.
