Wonderful scape! Do you plan on keeping the mosses separate, or are you going to let them all run together, and see how it looks? Really nice idea. The different shades of green really make a nice effect.

Wow this tank looks great. It makes me think of a calm stream in the opening were the sun comes in. Very soothing tank. Also I bet that darker moss will make it look 10 times cooler once it grows in.

Awesome Job Jeff!

Jeff.:P:.

Thanks!

I'm going to try to keep everything separate. Since everything is on a rock is should be easy to pull out and trim it to a nice sphere. You know how Riccia is if your not on top of it, it gets everywhere. So hopefully if my maintenance regiment is good, I'll everything will be nicely trimmed and round. I just hope for zero algae and good, clean growth out of what I have, especially the Star moss.

The tanks looks great, Jeff! When the moss grows out of the mesh, it will look even better

Jeff.:P:.

Thanks man, can't wait.. .

Looks awesome...what kind of netting are you using? I'm trying to grow some moss on branches of driftwood but I only have it tied down with a ziptie. Any ideas or recommendations?

Jeff.:P:.

Thanks! The netting I used was from the shower sponges. All you do is cut the main string holding it together, then you have over 15 feet of netting. Great stuff. I recommend using fishing line or cotton thread for moss's on driftwood. The cotton thread will eventually rot and fall off and by then the moss should be attached to the driftwood. Only reason I recommend using some kind of line is that the netting can be a pain in the butt when getting it on uneven objects.

is this tank still setup? if so can we see?

Jeff.:P:.

Yup yup been real busy with my wife's tank and building the new reef tank, haven't had time to snap any new pics. But I promise this weekend I'll put some up. I replaced the Riccia with Subwassertang, cause the riccia was driving me nuts with maintenance. It was growing so fast that I had to cut, and replace it every other week. So I have a very large field of Subwassertang, and also some new moss's. The Subwassertang is about 70% of covering the rock. I really like what its becoming with everything filling in and all the new shrimp babies everywhere

I was going to ask you how you managed the riccia. as gorgeous as that stuff is it's a royal pain and I got a little bit in late august, fragging covering the top of my shrimp tank and starting to get that way in my 25 gallon if I don't sell some off.
