i am just wounderign how fast the following plants might be expected to grwo under the conditonjs in my tnak?

Dwarf hair grasss
Ricca
Java Moss

tnaks have about 2.5 wpg, liquid ferts and root tab ferts, however there is no substrate heater canle adn no co2 as yet, will the above plants still be able to grow?

Cheers guys otp
 
I have similar specs to you, but I have CO2. My hair grass doesn't seem to be growing, I think it dies off as quick as it grows so I have about the same as I started with 2 months ago! I think hair grass needs a lot of light and I've now made a point of putting it where it won't get shaded by anything and see how that goes (I also installed a heater cable yesterday too).

Java Moss should grow well shouldn't it? It doesn't require much light. And it's one of the less demanding plants.

Riccia...Jimbooos the expert on this. I think he told me to buy about 4 or 5 clumps, and let it float so it can grow. Then when you have enough use it to wrap round objects...if that's what you wanted.
 
I'm not 100% sure if Java Moss attaches itself, but you can grow it on rock or wood. You'll need to weigh it down with something or use thread or a hairnet to hold it in place until it becomes established
