Had a read of http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/riccia-and-java-moss-carpets-step-by-step-guide.297/ and has me tempted...
I am planning a 30cm cube cherry shrimp tank and like the thought of having some are of moss carpeting the substrate but every picture I can find of a moss carpet is either one that is just been made or one that is in a tank with added CO2.
The tank has what appears to be a 5.76W x 2 LED (which looks like it might be pretty poor http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/help-lighting-my-aquanano-40.27987/) but I guess on a smaller tank it might be better.
I read a few things that without CO2 the growth might be scrawny and not look great but does anyone have pictures of a low tech moss carpet?
I am presuming Java Moss is probably the moss of choice for low light, no CO2 but is pretty stringy so doesn't produce the nicest carpet effect? Would flame moss work (I believe Christmas moss is too needy??)
