"is it something that can be bought or grown?"
My 2 cents is, If I am correct, that ia a Fresh water algae from back when we worked with ponds. Looks Just like Green Hair algea in a dirty salt tank. "we had to learn some of this stuff when we did the pool and pond stuff"

can it be Bought? I would say ya, but most who that would have it would say take all of it. "hehehe."

Can it be grown? Just find someone with a Dirty pond, I bet they would say yes.

Let the phosphate level in a tank get a little high, it will grow.

I don't want it to grow that much-check out the beginning of my thread and you'll see why-HA gives me panic attaches :)
