    Sharing a little secret of mine / PSA, that's probably not so much of a secret, with everyone. If you have a local Asian market, use it! Not only are you going to be supporting a small local business, but you'll also strike nori gold! I buy a package of nori that has THIRTY 8"x8" sheets for only $3.99. Just make sure you flip it over and check out the ingredients list as you don't want any seasoned nori. Just straight up dried seaweed gold!

    I love my local Asian Market (I love cooking all sorts of oriental food, so I buy all kinds of things at mine)!

    Just a nice little tidbit of info for your Monday afternoon :)

    Lots of people use nori from asian markets, I don't think there's anything horribly wrong with that but the flipside is that I have heard that unroasted nori is best for your fish, while roasted nori is what is typically sold by human-food stores and used by restaurants. I'm guessing there's some rationale behind using unroasted nori in your tank.

    But, upon a quick google search, I found people on both sides of this. One said roasting reduces vitamins. Another said it doesn't, and provided a link to prove it. Many said "it doesn't matter" but that places like Two Little Fishies adds stuff just for your tank, etc.

    Other than that, I didn't find any huge internet fight over this one :roflmao:
