isnt that already quiet moderate growth? it takes 5-6 months for non chilled temp 28-29 to grow for harvesting size. 304 months if with chiller 25-27 if i not wrong

[sacy]

I see. So this mean it will take around 3 to 6 mth to fully cover the median?

Hi, may I know where do you get the white plastic mesh used to tie your moss on?

[RonWill]

Plastic?? Looks more like weaved stainless mesh to me...

[Navanod]

Could be plastic, wrapped around something...
Makes no sense to wrap steel mesh like this?

Mini Fissidens will usually take a long time to grow if being introduced to a new water parameter. (Need time to take roots and fronds.) But once establish, they can grow faster. At the rate I'm seeing, your Mini Fissidens are growing very well. Your C02 dose seems pretty conservative. How big is your tank?
If you want faster growth, higher lighting and C02 level helps, but then again you have CRS in there. Happy growing!

Ar I'm using stainless steel mess. And use netting to warp the moss over to the stainless steel mess

Okay, maybe I should ask this instead: any where I can buy rigid white plastic meshes to tie moss on?

Argh, I responded too late. Btw, why not use (cotton) thread to tie the moss? Why wrap the moss with netting? Is the wrapping tight enough to press the moss against the steel mesh?
