    I'm guessing it would do fine cos I've seen taiwan/Xmas moss grow nicely in tanks warmer than yours. Do let us know how it turns out.
    Cheers!!

    So are your moss turning brown? Normally i only notice considerable growth after 2weeks in my tank. Time to adjust to your water parameters. Also moss is a good algae magnet if you have nutrients imbalance especially high NO3.

    One of the feedback I got from fellow hobbyists is that these moss grows faster and nicer when the temp is low(25-26)At rooom temperature(around 2, it is much slower. I suggest you give the moss more time to adapt to its environment and grow. Afterall, moss is a slow grower with the exception of Java Moss. Alternatively, you may wish to consider a chiller, which I think you can do without unless you have excess cash to spare and you do not mind the heat generated by it.

    Cheers!

    Did you see any white spot at the tip of your moss?
    If you do, then is ok.

    temp 26 deg C and 2.75w/gal
    may be you can use the Newbie Planted Tank Help to give more infor?
    If your NO3 rise is faster than your plant intake, you can always do water changes to reduce it. Lack of PO4 and K can also affect the intake of NO3.
    Try your best in providing more infor so that the rest of us here can help.

    If you look at your moss carefully,
    You should be able to see tiny white spots at the tip of each thread.
    This is an indication of growth in your moss.

    If you see them, your moss is good and set to go.
