Tank for moss and emersed growing - DONE :)

Is this going to be for any species you fancy, or do you have a list of species already sorted that you would like to grow? or are you just going to try many different species and see how they fare?

Errr, the last one I think ! The five small compartments along the back left are specifically for mosses - they wont have any heater cable in them. The other ones are to try things in, hence the different depths, to give me a bit of room for experiment.

Cheers

What a pro!

Nice one, Tony. Ever the perfectionist, and I'm sure the results will reflect this. :D

Thanks George - I wish growing the plants was as easy as designing and building this !!

Awesome Tony! decided on what mosses you're going to be growing?

Cheers Steve. Initially there'll be mosses from my other tanks - -peacock, fissidens, taiwan, java, christmas and a couple of others that Matt has given me. Also I'll try other plants from the main tanks too. Just play around and see what works :D

I can't wait to see it in action! Will UKAPS members get a nice discount if you sell on your mosses?! ;)

Thanks Gill.

Its kind of on hold for a while :thumbdown: I'm going to be working abroad for the next 5 weeks, so I wont be able to look after it properly. The mosses will stay in there, as the daylight it recieves, plus the daily auto water changes should see them ok, but everything else has been removed.

I'll update when I return.

Nice one Tony, I posted on the forum while in Peru last year, but Beijing beats that!
I am sure you will be missing your family, but hope you are enjoying the travel as well :)
 
This is most interesting, a kin to Amano's Wabi-Kusa grower. I think it has the potential to be very beautiful as well as a good grower. Do you think you could have live-stock in it, dwarf frogs? Do you still have the "big green moss" from me ?

Keep us posted, Tony
