    This is my experience so far:

    Tank conditions: temp 25~26
    Lighting: 6 X 18W FL Daylight 10hrs
    Fert: PMDD [KSO4, MgSO4,Fe] dosing every other day
    CO2: 1 bps day, 1b per 10sec night

    I dose higher on K, and Mg. My Fe seems pretty high already

    So far growth is pretty ok, but not very fast.

    Hope this helps []
    The key to success is patience. If that fails, screw the guy in front of you!!

    In particular, what and how much fert you use and lighting.

    Peter Chua told me that his Moss started bubbling after he started dosing 20ppm K per week... and his is a low light tank. I think the moss grew better too, but I'm not too sure... maybe he can confirm if he reads this.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    get timebomb's advice, he has a rather nice moss wall in his tank.

    My moss is growing well now with weekly K2SO4 dosage. My 2 ft tank is lighted by 2 X 36W 10hrs a day and DIY CO2. Was dying before dosage started. I think it might be the K.
