    I just threw it in. And I don't see any problems on mine. I asked at the store, they told me it doesn't matter.

    They charge an arm and a leg for the stuff, then when you finally get it to grow... It takes over the whole tank :)

    Just threw mine in too! My LFS gave me some for free. It had been sitting in the airport for over 3 days and looked pretty scrappy. He said, take some if you want!

    It's doing pretty well now actually! I don't think you really need to worry about killing it ;)
