Low maintenance Set up

[lorba]

thanks.

moss are initially tied on small wood. They will grow and spread pretty fast.

bty what is the size of the 2 tanks.

Baranne, its not that difficult, lurk around Aq longer and you will know it.

Yup, seen quote a few forumers doing 6 ft. So I do not think it's difficult once you get some experience and maybe guidance from people who have done it before.

Actually I was there as well with the forumers during the farm visit when you were setting up the tank in Teos I believe and from the way you set it up, you had made things simpler by using mostly ferns and moss on wood. Then filling up the background and foreground. Same as what you mentioned in your interview.

I should really pay your shop a visit sometime, only thing it like the other side of the island for me and I don't drive. Plus now cannot really go out due to some personal reasons. But really hope to take a look at your tanks first hand.

anttz, they are 6x2x2.5 and 6.5x2x2. Not really giant, but still quite big.

baranne, yes, as you mentioned, it is easier to use those plants-on-wood as decoration. It has to fit into your design. Some imagination would be required to picture where the ferns or moss will creep to!

I used ADA Amazonian AquaSoil. I found that the hairgrass grew very beautiful using this soil. Somehow, the hairgrass remains very short despite the height and light used. The way it is planted and the medium is very important from what I learnt here. (I planted them 2-3 strands as a clump, for the entire 6ft front).

Hi, while searching for info on hairgrass, I found your comments very useful.
I plan to do a 8" cube tank with some dragon rocks and thinking only use hairgrass. Where can find/buy short hairgrass and how many is enough for nano tank ?

[lorba]

2 - 3 pots of hairgrass should be enough for that.
Try colorful aquarium?
