Talking "Moss Pharm" Journal

Hello, This my current scape in my 20g. Due to time limitations (reef tank) I re-scaped my tank from a Dutch like tank to an Iwagumi aquascape (which never seemed right) to finally a Moss scape. There are multiple plants in there that are not moss's. I have minimal algae currently unlike my Iwagumi did. I think the 130 watts is just not possible with that scape. The water was constantly coudy, GDA, string algae and BBA. I finally happy with the tank, I think I'll stay with scape for a while. I've always been fascinated with moss's terrestrial and aquatic. Hope to have collected a majority of them within the next couple years. I figure trimming should be semi-easy, since I'll be able to pull out rocks and trim away. Enjoy. I'll be updating as some of the moss's,plants fill-in. Any advice for any of the plants/scaping/photography is well welcomed. Thanks to APC for most of my collection, and information.
