Hi Rui. Very nice tank!

How did you get the java fern to grow so big and also in such a nice pattern? (it seems to be opening up like the shape of a fan.) mine seems to be growing in any random direction it wants to.

Can I check if you guys who have moss wall at the back and using internal filter have and problems with the filter sucking the moss?

i saw quite a few pics here with Eden 301 and having moss wall and moss covered throughout..any problems?

can assist to help me on the position of the filter to be place?

[joe]

calvin look at my picture above ... i'm using a eden 316 for the setup ... loose moss initially gets suck in ... after a while it will attach to watever surface and will not jam up the filter ... in fact the above filter is so choked up that water flow is trickling

scope thanks for the compliment too bad tank has now been torn down

[chows99]
