    try getting the harder & stronger ones. if not it's quite difficult to tie them cos they will bend. you might want to consider the stainless steel ones. depending on the size you need, can always get them from NA.
    don't worry, be happy

    if u planning to do a moss wall, then u gotta use the soft plastic mesh, if u doing foreground, then u Must use the metal mesh....
    yep, it's soft...but there's no need to tie so tight. as long as the 2 mesh can hold the moss inside can already
    i'm ADDicted to this wonderful hobby

    Anyone has any idea where to get bigger sized stainless steel mesh? I am looking for the same material like those found in NA, but bigger in size.

    asked for it two weeks ago but he said no. i suppose some hardware stores have them, but have yet to try going around. used plastic mesh but the problem is that it bends and results in fishes and shrimps getting trapped at the back where there is a gap.

    If someone really serious of doing a moss wall, the best method I found and learnt from Bioplast.

    What Tan has used the following :
    a) hard square plastic cover for lohan or arowana fish tank (see the picture)
    b) semi soft plastic mesh with big holes in normally roll up form .
    c) cable tie


    steps :
    1) put the hard plastic on the ground
    2) lay the moss on the top
    3) cover with the semi soft plastic mesh
    4) use cable to tie up

    One 4 ft size moss wall can be done within 20mins without worry the bending unlike wire mesh.

    You can get (a) from any LFS. As for (b), it is cheaper to get from a hardware shop.

    Are the holes in the mesh mentioned too big for moss? I have seen LFS using stainless steel mesh with very fine holes. Any idea where I can get some in size of at least 2' by 2'? Thinking of setting up a Christmas moss background. What about the cost? Tks and best regards.
