Re: Operation Maximus
Did you plant the HC directly together with the mesh?
If it rots, it will spread like wildfire. Better to plant them in separate clumps so that it gets 'aeration' and will not rot together.
HC needs more TLC to convert. After that, you have to make sure the fishes/shrimps don't eat it faster than it can grow. I've heard of almost everything for HC. All the contradictory ones etc. I think you have to be very patient with spares in the balcony in case it all turns to mush.
CO2 has to be high during the converting stage. It loves SF Excel. It loves low temperature ~25C. One person has reported it doing well at 28-30C-I think his thermometer is broken though.
Good luck-
