HELP no luck with MOSS

[shrimppaste]

Hi people. I have been trying a few times to grow XMas moss, but never seem to have any luck with it. I have a tank with chiller and am using EI method with the tank at 25%. I have very good success with fissiden but just no such luck with moss. I keep looking at other people's tank and am very envious of their "triangle" of green moss.

I have very good lighting and CO2 so I really don't know what is missing? Could it be trace? I am using seachem fluorish for my trace with the recommended dosage (3 capful on alternate days for my 5 foot tank)

Can anybody advice me on what I could do to get the Moss I have always wanted?

Here's my tank specs
150 Gallon
3.2 watt/gallon
25 degree celcius
CO2 8 BPS
KH 8 degree
PH 6.5

Thanks in advance!!

Hi There,

Not very good at Moss but i still manage to grow some weeping and christmas moss in my One Footer , i think your spec is good enough , izzit possible to bring down the temperature more ? cause i think christmas moss will do well on Cold water as for fert i am using this http://www.thegreenmachineonline.com...righty-k-250ml

But is 25 not cold enough? Cause if I lower some more the chiller will always be on

maybe you can try spikey moss or weeping moss, they grow with nice triangle shape too

25 degrees is good enough for moss, i am growing moss with 27 degrees in low tech tank, the grow great..

Spiky moss looks nice. Can I get them at C328? Thanks!

I've started using Flourish and my mosses have been growing very fast lately. Maybe you may want to consider trying comprehensive fertilisers.

Y618 have some spikey/weeping moss for sale(visited yesterday)

Alternatively,you can post in "want to buy" section in AQ or wait for some bros in AQ who post in "for sale section" it's more economical to buy from bros in AQ if you are willing to wait and travel...well, meet up fellow hobbyist here and share knowledge is quite fun..

try lowering your KH to 4 and see if it works.

What kind of lighting are you using?
I keep Christmas moss without chiller and Co2. Only add Excel Flourish and they are doing well.

I am also adding Fluorish. Just re-tied Christmas moss. So fingers crossed!!!
