substrate: laterite layer, osmocote/flourish tabs, activflora top.
Today I went ahead and set up one of my new tanks that I got from Petco dollar per gallon sale. I wanted to dry start some Fissidens on a few pieces of drift wood and black lava rock. I was going to grind the Fissidens and rub them on the hardscape, but I could get myself to do it. Instead I just pressed the thin sheets of Fissidens onto the hardscape. I am patient and are willing to wait however long it takes for the Fiss to grip the hardscape. This is my first dry start and any help would be appreciated.
My question is, will the Fissidens adhere to the drift wood and lava rock when being applied with this method?
Other questions: Should I use a fert solution to spray on the moss or should water do?
Should I inject Co2?
Should I leave a gap in the plastic cover for air?
How moist should I keep it?
Is there anything else I am doing wrong in the pictures?
