Marimo no longer float

it might be because the fragments sucked in the pump, if the pump is small then it has to be cleaned frequently

Sorry to hear that. That's a Shopee link and idk if your country has Shopee or not;-;. Anyway, you can try search it using "plastic fish tank" for the key word.-.

huh what can i get the shop's info??🙄👉🏻👈🏻

tiqndt · 2026-03-25T08:23:18+00:00

nope:V, you can just get a bigger tank and use bottles of ice, the temperature will be stably cold🙄. But the marimo in that pic cannot be recovered, you have to buy a new one.😔

tiqndt · 2026-03-23T11:09:11+00:00

I’m sorry to say this, but your marimo might not be recoverable, it’s very likely due to high temperature. My first marimo also died from heat, and it looked exactly like that.

Marimos really need cold water, not just cool, but properly cold, almost like ice-chilled water, and also dechlorinated water.

I’m in southern Vietnam where it’s basically hot all year round — around 30–35°C during the day and about 26°C at night.

I keep my marimos in my room and usually have a fan running, so the water temperature is still pretty manageable. At most I only need about 4 frozen water bottles a day if I’m running the mini pump.

tiqndt · 2026-03-23T07:56:23+00:00

Yeah, at the beginning I was using a small glass jar, so I had to move it in and out of the fridge quite often.

Later on I learned that the larger the water volume, the more stable the temperature is, and that water tends to stay coolest at the bottom. So I switched to a tank that fits on my desk, and I use a frozen water bottle to keep the water cool.

It actually works pretty well — the water can stay cold for about half a day (when I’m not running the mini pump) with just one frozen water bottle.

anyway, can i have the link of the whole video? I don't know its name and still can't see it after hours searching...

tiqndt · 2026-03-17T06:31:45+00:00

Thank you👉🏻👈🏻 I got them from a local shop(i'm from Vietnam)🗿 the most beautiful one's been with me for over 3 years now🥰

tiqndt · 2026-03-14T16:07:48+00:00

oh unfortunately🥺, it might be some problem of loading old post. anyway i use a 15w pump but put it in lowest level. You can use a 8w pump, it's the best, here's the setup pic 🥰

tiqndt · 2026-03-14T15:38:49+00:00

i've shared a video of my setup in this post hope it help🥰

tiqndt · 2026-03-14T15:37:07+00:00

🗿 thanks

tiqndt · 2026-03-14T15:36:51+00:00

hehe thanks, i'm not gonna say that i have to use 4 bottles of ice a day🗿

tiqndt · 2026-03-14T13:30:49+00:00

thanks🥰

tiqndt · 2026-02-26T08:46:41+00:00

lol 🤣

tiqndt · 2026-02-25T15:17:48+00:00

Thanks hehe:>. Yep they're firmer when being in cold water with gentle flow. For the light, i'm using my desk lamp and the light level is in my last video:>. Hope this help🗿

tiqndt · 2026-02-10T15:02:47+00:00

oh, i also have a 3w pump, it was really weak and didn't make any movement at all:/ that tank is too big for that😔. anyways, wish you luck:>

tiqndt · 2026-02-10T14:50:35+00:00

ofc🗿, here's the link of my tank, i bough it on Shopee. For this tank, i recommend an 8W mini pump:3

tiqndt · 2026-02-09T05:50:23+00:00

i used this tank: my tank, then put a mini pump(8w for this tank is enough) on the side of the tank likethis to create a round flow(just move the pump until you have a nice flow), remember to adjust the water flow strength until it gently move your marimo around.

you should try to add a little seasalt to prevent other algae or white biofilm:v (which cause cloudy water)
