Re: Do you need powder type for a good carpet
I've never used powder for carpets. Maybe the smallest Eleocharis might like it, but otherwise just use the regular stuff. If you really need fine grain, you can mix in inert sand.

Re: POSSIBLE COLLECTING SITES IN FLORIDA
David, you may want to reach out to Sean Murphy directly. He's done lots of collecting in Florida. Otherwise, if you return to the nerite place, keep me in mind.

Re: IMPORTING PLANTS FROM ASIA
This doesn't help with the import license issue, but do know that very few places that claim to be farming Buce are actually doing so. Most are holding areas for wild collected plants.

Re: Heathers for big tanks
I'll second the Hydor in-lines. I'm running on all of my tanks for years -- never any problems *knock on wood*
