Hello. First of all, I'm new to this forum, and I hope this is in the right section. If not, then please excuse me!
I want to disinfect both of my marimo. I've heard that a lot of people use PP, but I'm on a budget. I think I heard of disinfecting it with salt. I don't have any aquarium salt, but I do have Hawaiian salt, which I believe is the equivalent to sea salt plus red coloring. Would that be safe? I've heard of people using salt to boost marimo growth, so I'm guessing it would be safe. I'm really not sure though, and I'm not sure if it would work. Would it kill microscopic eggs (nematodes and/or possibly other things)?
If there are any other ways of disinfecting my marimo, please do tell me!
Also.. if salt would be a good idea, how much salt per gallon?
Thank you! And I'm sorry if I seem stupid.
