Use a fan to cool the water. My water temp was around 31 degrees but manged to get it down to 26 degrees by adding a twin blower fan.

Hi Guru Houston, cooling the tank by fan works on evaporation. This will rise my living room's huminity, especially when no one at home and all windows closed. That's why I am not kin on cooling the tank by fan.

Hi Guru Guppendler,
JAVA moss. What is the easiest way to identify if a moss is JAVA? I search through resources from the internet, people always look at its leaves structure under microscope. I don't or never bring microscope when visiting LFS.

If you visit C328, the shop sells java moss in plastic pack properly labeled as ‘java moss’. PolyArt also label their moss sold in plastic cups.
So, normally these Java moss are sold in loose form? As I know most of the moss that tie on rock or coconut shell are normally Christmas moss. Is there a reason for this?

Yes, water evaporation affects humidity. Most hobbyist don't realize this when they add fan to their tanks. Singapore is already so humid >70, add the tank with fan will end up close to 80+. Mold will start growing on curtains, drapes, bed sheets, towels, walls, cabinets. Using chiller is probably the only solution but that will end up heating the room, especially on very hot days.
Chiller + moss = best growth unfortunately.
I've kept Java moss in my tank, temp around 29 degrees. I've had moderate growth but it's not nice. Moderate growth = some browning parts = magnet for detritus, BBA/ hair algae. So end up, I no longer have them in tanks.
So Java Moss need cooler temp., how about Fissiden Moss?
