    PM me if you need help (I do have some used 4ft ATI tubes)... I've experimented with a lot of tubes before

    Now let's see some greens...

    First plant to go in... Anubias nana Must thank bro Illumnae for suggesting me a nice location for it



    Tied the plant to some tiny lava rock using ADA Moss Cotton... the string is actually quite stiff... easier to handle than I thought

    How about an angled shot?



    Took me almost 3 hours of planting

    First time revealing my Eheim green pipings... will get them replaced soon.

    HERE for more info... I think it's around 1 red note

    I am very pleased with the crystal clear water actually... and the glass clarity is unrivaled IMO (for that price range)



    You can see the pinkish spectrum of the Arcadia Plant Pro T5 tubes.



    Love the hidden Anubias nana

    What do you guys think?

    no problems. do what you want with it! its your project!
    we are all just throwing in suggestions for additional ideas-sharing 'cause we are so excited about it!
    very true things tend to look very different once the plants grow in, which we all tend to forget when looking at the bare hardscape
    i look forward to seeing the completed look of your project

    a comment on my experience with the ADA moss cotton... i'm not sure if the weather and water conditions here in Singapore are a contributing factor, but in my case, i find that it tends to melt off (its designed to anyway) before the plants fully grab hold of the rocks or wood
    had my spiky moss floating off my driftwood when the moss cotton melted off and they had yet to grab hold of the wood

    and one more thing, don't add in shrimps too early! or at least keep them very well fed
    my shrimps in another tank i used moss cotton in ate off all the moss cotton on my painstakingly tied fissidens bogwood within 2 days
    needless to say, waste of my effort

    I got a feeling water condition of individual tank could possibly be the factor... I'll take note of it before adding shrimps, maybe change it to Wood Tight instead. You should use Riccia Line (or common fishing line) for that matter

    haha i used to use normal clothes threads with no problems
    when i got hold of the moss cotton sometime last year i tried it out on a number of things, but for me they never really lasted long enough till the plants could properly grab hold

    but one point i omitted to add earlier was that the common denominator for all the attempts were in low tech non-co2 tanks
    plant growth and development in co2 enriched tanks could make this problem i brought-up as non-existent
    but i cant be sure since i suspect water conditions may play a part in the early deterioration

    but the shrimps chomping away the moss cotton is definitely true. my own eyes witnessed

    3 hours of planting is definitely worth it. Love your angle shot.

    When I reach office this morning, I find that the plants doesn't look as stunning as yesterday... then i realized only 2 Osram 6500K lit up (on timer)... now I am convinced the Arcadia Plant Pro does make a difference... my tank looks so flat without it (it's bright enough... but just flat).

    Nice...

    It is a very nice setup. I have something very similar to your setup in mind. Hopefully I can get my 'project' started by this month.

    Glad someone ask Actually I did a major noob mistake yesterday... I have a bit of Glossostigma elatinoides (1 pot worth) as mid ground plant surrounding some rocks... but then I mistakenly bought 3 pots of HM (wanted to get HC actually) They look so similar! Now I am figuring out what to do next

    Hi Lee,
    as with all cotton threads, they will disintegrate after a period of time in the water. Based on our own experiences, normal white cotton threads will also disintegrate after a week or so.

    In addition, the moss cotton assumes that the moss used clings to wood or stone, which generally are the Christmas moss, Taiwan moss or "Willow" moss which are used in ADA scapes. I am not very sure if Spiky moss falls into the same genus as those mentioned.

    Our experiences with Christmas and Taiwan mosses showed that by the time the thread disintegrates, the moss have attached themselves to the wood.

    To Jervis,
    great looking scape. Looking forward to the see the foreground being covered.

    Due to the low plant mass currently, we will suggest an initial lighting period of only 3-4 hours, and incrementally adjusted by 1 hour till the required 8-10 hours.

    In additional, a water change on the 3rd day is suggested as well to remove excess nutrients in the water.

    Hope to see your tanks ready for the coming ADA competition!
