Yes, Spikey Mosses are easy to attach to any media. Simply anchor them into any grooves, or into the foam (if it is soft and penetratable). Among moss species, they are the fastest growers with well defined/visble fronds.

luchaolc, thanks. Yes, there is no CO2.

Knight, the cock bark was a gift from a hobby friend. Mosses can be stucked and grown easily on it.

Hm... wondering where can I get this cock bark?

Can someone enlighten me!

Cheers
Knight

I really like the lighting that you are using. Care to share where you bought it?

[yilimi]

Hi FC, gong xi fa cai. May i know what is the brand/model of the light and filter you are using?

[FC]

I bought the lamp from NA at Thomson.
I do not know the brands of both lamp and filter (I do not have them now as I have upgraded to larger capacities).

I bought the real tree bark from NA, for that they sell by weight, which comes to about about $15-$20 for a 2 x 2 feet. Looking at your tank I would say the cork bark looks better than real bark. Your tank looks great! I love the plants growing on the 'bark'. Didn't think of sticking plants in mine earlier.

I was initially contemplating on using a Cork background, but after reading James experience here, I stopped contemplating.
