Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I didn't realize the fissidens would grab on to the rocks so quickly. Great tip!

Simply stunning! Congrats buddy! Amazing carpet, such a natural look! =D>

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Wow really nice! Hmm wonder if anyone have Mini Fissiden in US?

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

I am going to try this with regular moss, anyone thoughts?

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

what a great idea, thx for sharing

Green Thumb, id like to hear the results of you decide to try it.

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Putting the Fissidens in the grinder reminds me of the Super Bass-O-Matic from SNL. :D

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Nice. Simple and easy. Will this work with any type of moss?

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Beautiful! Thanks for the tip! I love how natural this looks.

It SHOULD work for other mosses, too. Folks who garden with non-aquatic mosses in the outdoor landscape use a similar technique.

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

I love the look of this moss! Where does one obtain fiss?

he was abbreviating fissidens. I have a whole tank out of control with fissidens fontanus, but it's smothered with BBA I'm trying to treat right now

Super!!!:D

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Just did this today...let's see how it turns out in 5-7 days!

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

I was wondering... Do you expose the fissidens to light during this time? Or will it attach without lighting over a week?

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Has anyone tried this with wood?

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Excellent tip! Does it apply to other type of moss to?

Greetings!

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

I believe this must be done with the lights on Drip_Loop.

R2d2magno - I don't see why it wouldn't work with other mosses since they all grow similarly.

epicfish I know its only been 4 days but do you have an update yet?

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Zapins and all, Like Zapins said it probably will work with any kind of moss but I think it will only work on rough, semi rough rocks and wood. They will need something to grab onto.

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Ya. Didn't have as much luck as the OP and I'm using some rough/porous rocks. Time to go with an epoxy solution on the rocks. Light coat of epoxy with a brush or via a spray bottle and sprinkle the moss on top. Let it dry, and voila.

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Thank you so much. I'm starting a new tank and this is a wealth of knowledge.

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

what kind of rocks are you using to attach the ff? or any moss? and where can i get it ?

thanks

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

I mean seriously you have grounded them.. awesome idea

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

epicfish did u get it going with epoxy? did it work for you?

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Cant seem to find mini fissidens anywhere for purchase. Anyone else got lucky with this method?

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

very nice

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

I like the hardscape.

Re: One way to attach mini Fissidens on the rock or carpet
 

Would this work on sand?
