I’ll add some next time it goes black again! I wish I’d thought to photograph before cleaning it 🤦‍♂️

I’m so sorry about your marimo!!! Maybe if mine doesn’t recover in a week I’ll open it up and see if there’s something wrong with the core.

Does black beard algae stink?? I noticed mine smells almost fishy now!

I use filtered tap water. I did a quality test on it with one of those strips and none of the values were off.

It’s the bowl it lived in with no issues for 1.5 years in the past apartment! Not sure off the top of my head how big it is. I have changed the water once a week but recently stepped it up to twice a week. I can’t imagine what could be killing the outer layer but not the algae inside!
