So, I purchased a small amount of riccia fluitans to grow and then use to carpet my tank and a few other random things (heard it can double in a week). At first I just dropped it in the tank thinking it would float in a blob nicely at the top. It only took about 3sec for it to find it's way in front of the power head and it went every where, filter intake, power head intakes, and strands floating all over. It took a 1/2 hour to recollect what took 3 sec to come apart. I only got a small amount and wanted to let it grow but I need a better way. I have it in a mesh bag of sorts floating in the tank but in think that is restricting light. I am ready to just purchase the amount I need but really don't want to. Any ideas on how to grow and not stop up my filter?? Thanks for any help.
