DIY roots/branches

[Park]

I've made a guide for making your own roots/branches from aluminium wire and filter wool : http://danielparknielsen.blogspot.com/2 ... on-10.html

Very in depth guide mate well done. This will work wonders for people wanting that little extra something in thier tank to bring it to life

Ditto. Think it's a cool idea

Good idea. You could also maybe use anodised Bonsai wire as well, might be less messy?!

Perhaps, but I can live with the mess - I just wash my hands And the bonsai wire is quite expensive - the wire I bought was 400 m. and I paid 24 pounds with delivery

But if you have it then I would love if you tried it and made some comment?

I hope some will try it and perhaps post some pics?

nice idea, got any pics of it finished and covered with moss

No, not yet! But when I have I'll post 'em

 

[dean]

Which moss are you going to use?

 

[Park]

I don't know yet... I have Taiwan, Singapore, Xmas, mini Xmas, fissidens fontanus, fissidens US mini, Flame, Wiror moss (Fontinalis sp. 'japan'), Crescend Moss (Drepanocladus aduncus) and Stringy moss. So it's hard to choose one!

But I'm thinking fissidens US mini or mini Xmas!
