Girl, please allow me to break it for you. I'm a killa algae that will not think twice before I choke your coastline with my thick shweaty stems. So you betta recognize cause this playa's fo reals. My growth rate is whack outta control! When i'm introduced to a new enviroment, I freak crazy. I absorb all sorts of crap from the water...that's why I can make your coastline my crib. Them aquarist have been using me since the 70's as a form of filtration for their fish tanks since i can absorb harmful nutrients, nitrates, and phosphates like nothing else. Careless disposal can get me into coastline. You know what i'm saying? If you want to protect your coast the best way to get rid of me is to freeze me in yo freeza 24 hours and throw me in a trashbag bound for a landfill. Respek
