Hi all
I've been in the process of starting my first planted tank and have got some weeping moss and a couple of cyperus helferi along with some other stuff.
Because of its long leaves the helferi must of taken a bit of a beating in transit as quite a few of the leaves have broken/split.
I removed the worse ones before planting but have now noticed a few more damaged leaves which dont look great.
Whats the best way to prune this plant to get it healthy and promote new growth? I don't want to start hacking away at it and do something wrong.
I also bought some tropica weeping moss which I plan to attach to some mopani wood.
I was initially going to tie the moss down with fishing line but while doing some research I read that some people use super glue to attach moss to rocks/wood.
At work we use a 2 part super glue, one part is liquid and the other part is an aerosol activator.
It doesn't say on the bottle that its not for aquarium use and seeing as i'd only be using a tiny amount I'm thinking it might be worth a try. It would be much easier to attach the moss with glue rather than fishing line.
Has any one used super glue for this before? Did it work and more importantly where there any ill effects to the aquarium?
cheers.
