Here are a few Flame Moss pics before I prune it.

looks very neat. Each bit is kind of like a little lick of flame  8)

The divisiveness between the plants in your tank is amazing. You must have taken the art of pruning to a new level! How do you get them to behave so well?

Seriously...your plants look great...so neat and tidy. Any pointers?

That moss is really cool aswell, is that what is on the back wall of your tank?

Nice work!

To be quite honest, I have said this before time and again, pressurized CO2 make all the difference in the world.  Yes the initial start up of the reg and bottle is about $200 low end but it opens the door to so many different plants AND more importantly, it is the best fighter against algae.

Using the EI method (estimative index) with 50% water changes doesnt eliminate algae but boy-o-boy does it ever reduce them.

This particular moss wall is Singapore which is very easy to grow.  Christmas moss works well too.  I am also trying a Taiwan moss tree and an Erect moss tree but dont have pics of those because they are at work.

Wow!  So that's what flame moss looks like!  I have a small amount and I had no idea where to tie it...now I do!
