    for taiwan moss, no CO2 not an issue, just take a longer period to flourish!

    Fan, just require ur tank to be cool! but best is to have both, ur taiwan moss will be lushy and healthy!

    saw a nano tank at nature aquarium at the counter, it had been around for quite sometime, taiwan mosses grew pretty well without fan but he did have a DIY co2...

    THe nana tank at NA has CO2 and Fan. He just reset his tank, the previous one was run with Co2 and Fan and Filter for 6 years I've heard.

    imo taiwan moss grows well in colder condition. you will obviously need a fan. w/o CO2 not an issue but with CO2 and fan it can grow really well.
    don't worry, be happy

    If I can only choose between fan and CO2, i would choose fan...
    imo, i think cooler temperature is more important for moss...

    but for taiwan moss no need too cool.. 27-28°C is ok...
    my taiwan moss and spiky moss are growing fine at this temperature..

    IMO, to grow taiwan moss fast and furious like weeds you need :
    1. good lighting 2. liquid ferts 3. low water temperature (fan 24/7) 4. CO2
    5. shrimps to massage them (not important)

    There's acutally CO2 cylinders to go with nano tanks!

    I think you need to sort out your setup first. If you are not using CO2, don't dose liquid fert, especially if you are doing it blindly. Keeping the tank well-filtered and on the cool side would probably do much more good for the mosses and other plants as well.

    Not to confuse you if your intention is NON CO2 set-up tank, then pls don't dose liquid ferts.

    Moss needs cooler temperature. On fan 24/7.
