Moss for a semi-hi-light tank

Everything I read seems to say that mosses do-not like much light. I'd like to add Christmas moss to my tank. I don't have a PAR meter but my Lymnophila Aromatica & Rotala Indica, Ludwigia, and others are growing nicely and showing good color. What should I do?

I do grow moss in low to high light condition. With or without CO2. For my experience, the moss looks best in medium light with CO2 condition...as well as cooler temp.

In high light, it still grows healthy and fast, but don't look as green.

What should you do? Get what you want and throw it in your tank. Mosses do very well in medium and high lit tanks.

Thanks folks, I'll give it a try.
Yep, I've grown mosses in high light setups and it grows full and healthy. Same goes for other "low-light" plants like ferns, anubias, etc.

Good to hear, I'd like to add some anubias nana petite low in the tank also.

See you added some stuff to your profile. Funny, I live in Manassas and go to PVAS as well.
