[11computersrock11]

Hey Ross, I have a question, can you do a moss carpet for coldwater aquariums? thanks!=D

[TheRossiboy]

@11computersrock11 Hi as long as the tank temperature never falls below 10degC

[zerounite]

can i attach it on a driftwood?

[TheRossiboy]

@zerounite yeah

[zerounite]

@TheRossiboy dose that mean that it will get attached to the driftwood thus wont require me to reattach it with the string?

[TheRossiboy]

@zerounite yes over a few months

[dayne421]

[TheRossiboy]

Hi Ross,

Really helpful. Your video is very informative and gives a quick start for beginners like me!

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers!

[TheRossiboy]

@sarajitsil no problem glad you found it helpful

[innievinnie]

do you need to put fertilizer in order to grow it properly?

[TheRossiboy]

@innievinnie you can, but waterchanges often add enough new nutrients and minerals

[wilubuymygldfish]

could you use moss outside

[TheRossiboy]

@wilubuymygldfish no only aquatic mosses

[spongeex]

[MrSpeeder25]

[CGkawaiicrafter]

Where did you get your moss??

[almostreal96]

@CGkawaiicrafter the shop



[microiguana]

the carpet isn't on the ground! :o

[sexy52637]

I want to suck you

[meeeiu]

did you remove the trim on your own? or was it like that when you got it?

[LindseyElkins]

Very helpful. Thank you. :)

[fishbubbles199]

I have Java moss that over grows on a rock. If I burry it into the gravel in several different spots would it cover the gravel? If it does cover the gravel would I still have to siphon?

[skuller496]

What kind of catfish at the begenning were those?

[TheRossiboy]

@skuller496 bronze corydoras

[jean9910]

hay ross I have a question for you friend, can I plant all my plants strait into my sand cos Im only going to put sand at the bottom of my aquarium for my 26 gal Im planning om making it look kind of like your 15 gal

[TheRossiboy]

@jean9910 yes put them straight into the sand fut remember to fertilize :)

[MegaPhoenix07]

@jean9910 If any of the are Java Fern, you can't plant into the substrate as the roots will rot. Attach Java ferns to a piece of driftwood or large java rock. Driftwood being the better of the two.

[jean9910]

how do I clean my sand if I have moss carpet?

[TheRossiboy]

@jean9910 hover the syphon tube just above the carpet

[adairsr53]

[TheRossiboy]

@adairsr53 Thanks for watching

[AwesomeAssassin1000]

does java moss need much light will it grow ok with 30 watts of light and also could i put it on like drifwood

[TheRossiboy]

@AwesomeAssassin1000 yeah should be fine it doesn't need much light and you can tie it to things

[Electromusicaus]

[TheRossiboy]

@Electromusicaus yeah give it a go

[TheRossiboy]

[TheRossiboy]

@dave18681 I might give it a try thanks for the tip!

[KidMumba]

[TheRossiboy]

@KidMumba dunno that's just how it is

[Creolity]

[karthickjk1]

[TheRossiboy]

[CombatAnimal]

@Rossiboy at 0:04 what is the fern looking plant near the bottom of the gravel?Thanks

[TheRossiboy]

@CombatAnimal That is pogostemon helferi :)

[AwesomeAssassin1000]

how long did it take u to remove all the tanents out the wood

[TheRossiboy]

@AwesomeAssassin1000 about 2 weeks :)

[01panik]

Very nice tank!! I never thought the java moss on driftwood/ rocks could be so easy and i agree with your opinion of using string/ thread instead of how other people use fishing wire or rubbers bands that will never go away and make the take look un-natural.

Great video and excellent tutorial

[bradv97]

what is the plant in the front right on your tank is that dworf sag?

[TheRossiboy]

@bradv97 Hi, the plant in the front right is called 'pogostemon helferi' the plant behind it is dwarf sag :)

[ztetnies]

How long for the moss to grow? Like to start the carpet.

[TheRossiboy]

@ztetnies a month or 2

[spudsssy]

Ha good idea man!! Iv gotta try that.

[TheRossiboy]

@spudsssy yeah give it a go! good for shrimp and fry :)

[reymore1995]

[TheRossiboy]

@reymore1995 no cories only eat old food that's fallen onto the gravel :)
