Re: [Killietalk] peat pellits

[Fred Behrmann <athensaquatics at juno_com>]

Hi Richard, Does anyone use Nodampoff Brand horticulturally milled
sphagnum moss? I think it's the best stuff available for true annuals! I
gave a talk a few years ago at Danbury Aquarium Society(DAS) and the TWO
members(William Cole, Anton Vuckich) who wanted to try their hand at
breeding a true annual killiefish got the same results from using this
brand as I had been. HUGE hatches. I'm so impressed by this stuff that I
gave my $68 per 1000 ( 1972 price) box of peat pellets away. The Mosser
Lee product was costing me $27 a 2 bushel ( 7 lbs.) bag. It is from
Michigan ( not Canada) and so pure (all above ground parts ,no roots)
that it MUST be boiled to accept water but when it does it can hold 40
times it own weight in water. It even squeezes different than the
Canadian crap. Much softer, more like a newly made 100 strand
Acrylic(Orlon is a Dupont registered name) Mop. Like Rosario says "
someday I'm gonna write a book".   Now her comes the commercial but
without the disclaimer;  Get your ass over here and I'll give you a trial
size portion.    Sincerely,  Fred Behrmann
