Im convinced and ill tell you 2 im blue in the face that the only way to remove it completely is 2 boil it.
Actually a "Creme brule" type torch works wonders too.
you might get lucky finding a nunibrach that likes it.... but i doubt it will remove it....
the roots grow deep in the rock... and when the conditions are right it will return.
It dosent have roots, there called "Rhizoidal system" and they grow in crevices, the torch will nuke them, and its way quicker and more targeted than boiling, which will terminate "EVERYTHING on the rock"
ive never seen a emerald touch that~!?
Hmm??? I see them eat it all day.
I have a tank full of them in a Store I consult at.
I drop a rock in in the morning, and by noon its polished clean including the "Rhizoidal system"
Not to sit on a high horse here, but low post count does not make me inexperienced. I have worked in the Industry since 1990 (im 39), Including many stores, where Ive consulted, and a few wholesalers.
I dont claim to know everything, but that which I have personal experience with. which is what I just posted above.
These are MY experiences, not OPINIONS,
so I couldn't possibly be "WRONG".
:chair:
but i still dig your avitar
