Net for Moss Wall and Riccia

[rodriguesroyston]

Friends,
I want a build a MOSS Wall of either Christmas Moss or Java Moss, the challenge that I am facing is that I am not able to find a Net that can ensure that the Java / Christmas Moss grows out. Either the Nets are too small or too big.

My second challenge is that I am looking for a net to tie down the Riccia growing in by leaps and bounds in my tank. I tried tying it down but the rate at which its growing its difficult then someone told me to find a small net and tie it to a Driftwood or Stone. I am searching for a net for this as well.

Any guidance where I can get these in Singapore?

Colourful and NA sells them. they even sell stainless steel wire mesh for your info.
NA sells alot of driftwoods and bog woods. i guess you won't be able to resist the temptation to get moss only for your trip.

Thanks for the info, I surely will not limit my buying to only Moss with lucrative products available like these for sure.

Any particular Fertiliser that I could also use to improve growth of the Moss and Riccia?

moss and riccia are easy plants,
cool water temperature ( 25-28 )and good light (1.5-2wpg) is enough. maybe you just have to add some seachem excel or CO2 to aid in their growth.
when are you coming Singapore for the shopping?

Hi Alan,
I will be in Singapore from the 22nd of May for a week.
Do let me know good fishy places, I am coming with an empty BAG for myself

Thanks a Ton Alan,
I really appreciate you helping me out, I shall call you when in Singapore and will move for shopping on Saturday Afternoon itself. It would really help with your local guidance. Please send me your number so that I can connect with you.

I shall try and send you a PM with a list of what I want to buy and you can probably guide me.

Also I am told that a lot of local hobbyist sell a lot of stuck at real good prices, I would really be interested in getting my hands on some good ones as well.

Thanks again in advance.

Bro, i agree with you! I actually visited NA just to take a look but ended up buying a nice piece of driftwood for my tank.

Just a question on Driftwood and Bog wood. Don't they both mean the same? anyways I look forward to buying the Mesh, Net and others to have my Moss tied to various Stones and Wood

drift wood is not as branchy as bog wood. that is the main difference
driftwood is usually part of tree above ground.
bogwood is usually part of the tree roots.

Thanks for enlightening me. Did not know this. So in short if I see a piece of wood which is branchy its most likely Bogwood.
