    It works~!! Glued afew zipper moss fronds to a smooth pebble.
    Now wondering how the moss will be able to "grow" onto the rest of the rock. Or would it just slip off?

    One tiny problem, is that the gel turns whitish when dunked into the water. So it now looks like hotglue patches on the rock...

    wow... so easy. Why do we even bother with using strings to tie now? Last time tie right side, left side drop.

    Lucky i saw this thread. Was going to buy netting to "wrap" the pebbles and stuff the fissidens inside!

    Just glued some normal US Fissiden to another rock and dunked it. 2 SAEs came looking and started trying to pull the fronds off. They failed! MUwhahahaaha~~!!!

    Re: Hot gluing Mosses or aquatic plants!!!

    Here is an idea for handling a moss wall. Use the net stuff and the mesh stuff from AquaticMagic (or Gel Super Glue). Put the moss material in between. Two problems occur with a moss wall for all it's beauty. One; small fish get caught behind the wall. Two; the moss on the top of the wall grows faster than the stuff on the bottom because it gets lots more light. You can defeat both problems with one technique. Before you fill your tank with water cut long thin strips of velcrow and with a little silicone attach these strips along the top and the sides of the tank glass you want to attach the moss wall to. The bottom should take care of itself. Now on the back of the mesh stuff attach the other kind of the velcrow including the bottom so that these two pieces can face each other. This will allow you to remove the moss wall easily and trim it laying flat. Just use a wooden piece or the handle of a fork to pry it off. It will also allow you to turn the wall over. That is, with the wall off and facing you, you can twirl the piece and have what was on the bottom be on the top and let it get the preponderence of the light for a while. Because you have placed the velcrow all the way around, you can just press it back into place. And the little fish cannot get behind the mesh of the wall.
