    Help ! Even Java Moss is giving up in my tank...

    Hi bro,
    I just rescaped my tank last Sunday with some java moss from my friend s tank. It was green and lively when I got from him but now it is turnin yellowish after a few days in my tank.
    I feel a bit frushtrated as some of t bros here mentioned that Java moss is the hardiest and if it doesnt survive in my tank, Nothing else will survive

    I suspected that it may have died of dehydration as I took it out of water for almost 3 hours, trying to hang it on the driftwoods.

    Can you please advise what can I do to resurrect them. I feel so guity and lousy.
    My tank specs are:
    Juwel Lido 120 (61x41x5
    Juwel Internal Filter
    Light: 2x 24W (12 hrs/day 8pm-8am)
    Co2: 2bps (12 hrs/day 8pm-8am)
    Substrate: 8kg of Gex and 8 kg of gravel
    Temperature: 28-29 with a fan
    No other chemicals added yet.

    Thanks a mil....

    think you might have answer your question yourself "died of dehydration as I took it out of water for almost 3 hours"

    anyway dont give up try again , just remember to keep it moist , currently you can try to trim away those brown moss and see if it survives and grow new fronds

    Keep a spray bottle when doing scaping and planting, to keep the plant moist.

    Side note, if you dosed bacteria under the substrate, use dechlorinated water for your spray bottle.

    @balding: thanks bro, but unfortunately, I stay pretty far away, so will give your offer a miss
