Water crystal options

[fish4all]

See, that's why I post things I find. Someone always has another way. I love having options and being able to find things when I want them when one source doesn't pan out at the moment.

I do wish I could find larger ones than 2-4mm. Being able to put 3-4 crystals in a colony and have plenty would be nice and harder for the feeders to drag anything off.

I did find out that the ones I listed are made in the USA. I don't know where any of the others are made because I can't find that info for some reason on any other company. Anyone that has that info if you would please share I would appreciate it as other may also.

Sometimes there are just those certain things that I can not seem to articulate to search engines.

I use this brand Soil Moist™ - Lee Valley Tools

Much more expensive than your link by weight. One packet hydrates to roughly the size of one of those fake store bought ready made cake icing containers, I guess 400mL or so?

I measured a hydrated crystal and it was about 8x10x14mm. They claim to be made in the USA. They are available at Lee Valley in Canada and the USA, and I've seen them in other stores (Lee Valley also does mail order)

Dang if you use them for plants which is the water crystals intended purpose then its a win win my friend. I just think it is a joke how expensive online feeder stores sell them for. I got a 1 lb bag for less then what the roach guys sells 2 oz for. And you just found them for cheaper then what i got them for. These things have many uses and they retain water for years. literally.
