Help Needed Creating A Moss Wall

[alex.wardle]

I have acquired my dads old Arcadia Arc Tank 35ltr. lovely little thing of a tank. It is currently home to a golden apple snail plus clutch of eggs. when they are grown out i would like to do something new with it.

Here is what i was thinking.
as the tank is situated in the corner of the room on a wee table it has 2 back sides and 2 viewing sides.
I would like to create a 2sided moss wall (the back sides) and carpet with some form of rocky center piece maybe mossy as well (do you get were i am going with this tank)
I would most likely stock the tank with purely shrimp and maybe a few Rasboras.

The tank would be running co2 and furts.
What i would like to no is what is the best way to create the moss wall and carpet.

best place to get the moss from would be EBAY. As you'll read llj used 21 portions of moss for the one single wall.

Sounds good, I'd use the green mesh from Homebase tho, it looks much better while the moss is growing in, that's what I used on mine.

Thats just the ticket glad you put me on to that thread. much better idea then the last. think i will just do one side at a time. what would be the best way 2 do the bottom. may be the same idea again with no substrate underneath. or just a thin layer of plant substrate.
