where do you all buy netting for tying mosses?

hi, what kind of netting do you guys use for tying mosses to rocks? i went to C328 and can't find anything that seems to fit the types i saw people use from pictures on the net.

For tying mosses, get the finest type of fishing line and tie. You may also use green thread to tie but thread will melt away in no time, and if your mosses are still not attached by then, it may become quite messy.

hmmm.. i guess the melting of thread is not true..
i have black sewing thread in my crs tank with ph 6.0 - 6.5 for a total of 5months and the sewing thread is still there.. not melted at all.

Hmm...why last time when I used sewing thread to tie, it would melt on me? Maybe it's the quality of the thread used Anyway, I've seen the Eiho brand netting displayed at Polyart, it's outside the shop. Cheers.

Got chance that your thread is not 100% cotton. Could be a non natural product therefore it does not biodegrade.

I too tie with sewing threads "borrowed" from my mum. No problem at all.

i use netting on particularly smooth rocks that fishing line won't be able to get a "bite" on and would slip off easily. wrap the moss around the rock, then wrap the netting around the moss/rock and use fishing line to tie at the bottom using a "drawstring pouch" kind of method. works like a charm and the moss grows out and covers the netting in no time.

for rough rocks and wood i'd use fishing line over netting
