Added some ferns. I am very happy the dsm went well being my first time trying out this method. I have placed my order at TGM which will arrive Friday, then I will be removing the rootwood and adding the substrate. Thanks every one for your help and advice. Hope you will follow...

Very happy with the results so far.

Coming towards the end of the 3rd week, and the results are good and the moss has attached nicely. Will be ordering my plants for next week (hopefully)

The temperature has stabilized at 23c, but I noticed some of the root wood drying out a little so I have raised the high of the light unit right the way up. Is this something I should be worried about?

Today was the day, My moss arrived from TGM and my rocks so I got it started. The temperature is holding at 22c which is a little low I feel, so was thinking of adding a small heater in to the tank.

Ok cheers, I will just add 3cm and see how that goes. The moss is ordered and the root wood is soaking so hopefully Saturday will be the start. Still need to get some yogurt.

Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear with what I was asking I think. I wasn't talking about not adding water at all but I want to avoid having stagnant water in the tank because there is no substrate. I have a 30W heat matt, So if I add 3cm of water its not going to go nasty over the 2/3...

Yes mate, but because I want to do it with out the substrate in I need to work out what I could add to stop the water going stagnant or do you think it will be on? What sort of temperature should I aim for?

I have got a heat mat I will use to get the humidity, but was wondering if anyone knows if I should leave it on 24 hours a day?

Does any one know if I can do a DSM in a empty tank (i.e no substrate, just redmoor root wood and the moss I wish to attach to it) is this possible ?

Thanks james, I may just tie the ferns on there not really the issue but I really want the moss to grow in natural looking. I have LED lights which will be suspended above the tank so shouldn't add much if any heat. on the temp tank I have a lid but will still cling film it, The main thing I...

Hi all, I in the process of setting up a new tank. Journal here - Justin's ADA 60p I am really interested in trying out a DSM for this tank, mainly to attach my moss to my root wood before I flood the tank. I have never do this start method before so want to get it right first time. I...
