    Java Moss As A Carpet

    Thanks Dave and everyone else who's chipped in. I'm going to order some "flame moss" on mesh from aqua essentials and I think that'll finish my scape off just nice. When I do a new set up (I'm itching to do one already) I'm going to have a full HC carpet. Thanks everyone Mark!

    Riccia, to try or not to try?

    I really love the look of riccia and was wanting to try it. Is it worth giving it a go without CO2 injection and very high lighting? I dose daily with Easy Carbo and Tropica Plant Nutrition+ with 70w of lighting 165L tank. I'm new to aquascaping so I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid...
