I'm planning out a moss only Mini S right now. I can't seem to find any posts about others doing this, even on the internet. Are you aware of any moss only tanks or journals that I can look at for inspiration? I'm thinking I will be using lots Christmas moss on driftwood and as a carpet.
Wow that's really gorgeous! I have done the same technique before on some brickwork in a garden I planted a long time ago. I went to the woods and collected some local moss species, grinded them and suspended them in some beer and than used a pesticide sprayer to spray it onto the hardscape. I'd say about 30% of the moss grew.
I love moss tanks. The method for that fissiden tank was cool too. I just gave up on an experimental/mess around moss tree tank since the lighting on it was way to high and caused algae problems. If you get the right lighting though these tanks are awesome.
Here's the start of mine based off the link I posted above using xmas moss. It's just sitting on the floor right now on some milk crates, I'll let it sit for a week till the stand is built for the tank and I get some more lavarock that I don't want covered in moss to put under some of these pieces. I'm basically just going to go big rock piles with some of these pieces on top and It's going to be a shrimp tank. I used tahitian moon sand for it.
It's been two years, this is what the mini S turned into. It has since been broken down. I am setting up a 10 gallon right now that I plan to do something similar. If anyone has more moss only tanks lets see them!
I'm setting up a 20l moss-only shrimp tank as soon as I have, you know, money for it. The mini s looked good, I'm excited to see where you go with the 10g.
