It is recommended to use Co2. But you don’t have to, it will just grow a lot slower.

Nice project! I really appreciate the cliff idea with a beach on the bottom. Two questions if I may: link to the filter - I am still lokking for small but effective casccade filter for sucha tank, the second the lights - what do you use?

gorgeous tank! new sub..i have been keeping fish since i was 14 and have always been a cichlid guy, mainly african and ive always had a single species cichlid tank too, right now its a black diamond, hes around 10 inches and full of character but im really interested in starting a small nano aquascape like this, it would be great to look at my tanks and for all the decor to be where i left it!

Never seen anyone else utilizing the intake of a filter for growing some moss 🦐 The video gave me a 💡for a little different approach ... Hopefully you will give it a try ❔ That way i'll get to see it in the future!!! So I would do the dry start method , that's going to get the moss growing from the freshly chopped portion either with a mini food processor or just like Mr. Amano would use a sharp knife & a cutting board. Then cover just over half the sponge and then cover the container with cling film . If you keep the lights on 24 and spray everything it's attached in 2weeks . Helps to have a fan nearby and I'm sure you can find a lava rock they grow moss the best 🙏
@StudioaquascapeАй бұрын
Great idea! Seems like a lot of work though😅. Although, I could probably cut the moss up a bit and it might latch onto the sponge a bit easier. Thanks! 😀

People seem to forget that these organisms were once wild,and did not have access to excessive nitrates ammonia and CO2. That is only possible today with artificial fertilizers and concentrated nutrients. This is unnatural growth and will leave your plant dependent on liquid ferts and all the rest of the products they want you hooked on purchasing. I have 3 tanks right now all low tech and they all are growing wonderfully
