Can someone spare a cup of live greenwater culture?

I need actual live stuff (not the DT stuff) to restart a culture. I had to throw mine out when it went bad while I was out on a long vacation. Any help will be very much appreciated.

I know where to buy it on line, so don't help me with that.

try getiing a tiny peice of raw live rock and put it in a container with direct sun light if you can't find a culture. airation helps but isn't necisary. I have read you have a rather good chance of getting lucky after a month or two.

I was under the impression that all you needed to make greenwater is dirty tank water and light. Dragon, if you ever go to the NJRC meets, ask for Malcolm. He brings several gallons of his famous greenwater every meeting. Bring your own bottle.

Even clean tank water will grow it, but the more you got, the better your chances. one micro algae has been found to increase IQ if used to suplement baby food.
The government feels other micro algaes could solve world hunger. somthing tells me if starving people are refusing to take geneticaly enginered corn they don't want to drink green water.

Thanks, guys, but I think: garbage in, garbage out. If it were that easy, they wouldn't be able to sell all those disks.
