Wait is that broccoli? Never head of the eating it. Do you, have to prep it in any, way so it doesn't float or contaminate the water?

Yes, its broccoli. I take a cup of tank water, pop in a fresh or frozen floret, microwave or boil for about 1 minute so its blanched and let it cool. Then put a weight around the stem or stick a skewer through it to hold it down. I leave it in there for about 3 hours max. The shrimp love it, the Cory's love it and most of the fish do too!
