Saltwater moss?

[Ribo15]

Hey guys, this is a real crazy idea but looking for input. I work at a plant in Alberta and we are nowhere near any ocean but we have a lot of very salty water where I work. Salinity is 1.190. One of the pipes runs through a concrete cellar and has a steady drip down the wall. It just so happens to be right under a bright LED light and the wall has started to grow moss and lichen. Think there’s a chance that would grow in a marine tank?!? I know it’s crazy.

Is the drip from a leak or condensation? If it’s condensation it’s likely fresh water.

Nope it’s straight up saltwater!

The white around the edges is salt dried up

Grab a handful and throw it in a small 5 gallon and see what happens.
