Java Moss as backdrop

[Patrick76]

I will be starting a 1ft cube tank in office and intending to use mesh to sandwich java moss to create the backdrop. I know that there are various type of moss around. Which type will be more appropriate for my setup? By the way, it is a low tech non CO2 tank and I will be dosing in Lushgro fert. For lighting, I am getting a Beamwork Ultrabright clip on LED Light (9W) from one bro in the forum.

This is the first time that I am doing the moss wall. Any guidance and advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

For me Java moss isnt the nicest to use as they form long strands irregularly. For easy to grow with nice triangular fronds, try taiwan moss. Nice light green as compared to Java moss.

you can also try flame moss, hopefully it will grow upward, and nice little string like a carpet
