Has anyone any experience with using sprouts as a food for RES? I have this fantasy of being able to get a little sprout garden going along the back edge of my tank to get some constant greens. So far I haven't worked out all the details but simple hydroponics seems like a tool with real potential. The impediment is really just a matter of choosing what seeds to start with and a suitable growing medium. Tubes (perforated) of lucite filled with cotton, mineral wool or coir are what come to mind.
My 2 sliders are about 7" give or take. One prefers bloodworms to krill and both like the occasional rosyred but neither is real big on vegetables and will hang out under the pellet feeder waiting for it to do its thing rather than explore floating vegetation. I'm determined to change this for a healthier variety. They're healthy but seem to prefer the little bit of daylight that comes in through the window to their basking and UVB lights.
