Poll on using pellia as main landscape plant

Hi guys,

I am going to start my tank soon and I am thinking of using moss and liveworts. My question is. Would it be crazy to use Mini Pellia as the main based on the fact that 1. It is just sooo slow. 3. It is sooo expensive. Do you think I should just use other moss? LIke peacock moss or taiwan moss?

I am thinking of setting it up like these

sounds crazy to me, even if you wants to start to grow them slowly, i think it will tank at least two years to grow to your desire amount.

Looks cool. Really need high tech equipment to achieve such result. Mosses generally love cooler temperature.

chiller does wonders.

Fissiden can still grow under higher temperature. No necessary must have cooler water for Fissiden to grow.
