Why wheat??

[upstoday]

Just got my fuge up and running. Went over to the LFS that does sell Macro-algae and asked what they had. They called it Why weed, I'm not sure if thats the way you would spell it.

Can't do a search on google because all I get is well.........weed.

It kind of looks like cheato to me, atleast it looks like some of the pictures of cheato that I have seen.

Anybody heard of this? I'm gonna try to get a picture of it and I'll post it so you all can look at it.

Hey
The topic tile says why white and your post says why weed, is it weed?

Could it be turtle weed?

The topic says "wheat", your post says "weed", and Zack says "white"! I'm confused! :thinkhard: I've never heard of it either way!

lol Just looked at it myself, and now I'm confused


I'm gonna keep looking for a picture online of what it looks like, because I've screwed myself all up.

Sugar Magnolia posted this link not too long ago. I've used it a couple times since then. You might give it a try. . .

Edited to add picture of "Y" branch algae. Maybe that's it?

Its gotta be what it is, it looks to much like it. I'll try to have my wife take a pic of the stuff when she gets home.

If you can take a pic it would really help... white, wheat, or weed.... probably Cheato!!!!! :)

Looks like this if I spread it out, right now its in a pretty tight ball or clump.

Which would mean it probably is cheato. Gonna still take pics of the stuff when I can. I completley redid the tank, so I'll post them up. So far so good.

Only thing I didn't do was put a backiing on so you can still see all the wires and such. I'll have to figure out a way to cover that up somehow. Hmm getting off topic, I'll end it here.
