115 Day Aquarium Moss Growth Experiment Results

[@FelixRisingOriginal]

This video is totally underrated. For thoroughness it deserves a stack more likes and views than it's received. Kudos!

[@Widquatics]

I really appreciate you saying that. These types of videos are definitely a labor of love but I plan to keep making them. :)

@@Widquatics Agreed. Thank you conducting this experiment and being so thorough. I've always wondered this myself, but don't have the attention to detail to carry it out.

It's insane what a gem you experimental video's are. Destroying $2-300 of moss in an oven just to get better results for only 4k viewers is real dedication. I have not found any of the bigger channels that goes this far into detail, has experiments this well set up and results this well documented. I'm hoping Bucephalandra gets it's turn some day. Thank you for this, It might significantly increase the output of my next setup!

I had to sub to your channel after you said “I’ll later use in Python to run some stats with”. Really like all your videos! 👏🏻

[@Widquatics]

Thanks for the sub, glad you're enjoying the vids! :)

[@chrisso1973]

A terrific piece of science. I love both the passion and rigour you put into this work. Thank you for sharing your insights and please keep experimenting!!!❤

[@Widquatics]

Thanks for your support and kind words! I plan on doing many more experiments, the possibilities are endless!

[@sal9842]

Great videos you’re producing and I look so forward to hearing what the results are. Keep up the good work. This is awesome I’m really learning a lot. Thank you.

[@shontellepetersen4445]

This was such a cool experiment and I loved all the different stat charts you used

[@Knutahh]

Great rundown of your experiment. Can't wait for the next one!

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

Hello from my fish room channel in Chicago! Wow. You took me back to science class ;) I do love Xmas moss and use it in several of my tanks (in & out of water) It might be my favorite moss overall. PS: I'm delighted to subscribe and support your channel. Hopefully, I'll see at mine one day. I could use the brain trust - Cheers!

[@phillipl.1433]

very detailed video, I really loved it! gonna try this set up!

[@vilasyang]

Great experiment. Thank you for sharing your journal.

[@Fixup1000]

I really appreciate the effort in this experiment! Thank you

[@allardbax1156]

great content! What was the difference in exposure to nutrients and co2 between the 3 conditions? I think Mixed had more nutrients than Emersed?

[@donpettit7107]

Do you have any info on which option transitions best back into an aquarium without die back or decay? If the mixed method results in smooth transition back to full immersion in a tank…then it seems the clear winner.

[@AquaJoyClub]

Going to nickname you the moss boss now hahaha. Results definitely make sense. It's the Hannah Montana method...the best of both worlds!

[@pullbackbaby]

Alright! Progress! ty!

[@dusk1947]

Well done.

[@jlathem56]

All that data is interesting but how does the hybrid method compare to the submerged method once the moss is taken fully submerged? I am pretty sure the hybrid method will have less melting than the emerged growth BUT... if there is a significant melting them the emerged method may be better. The end product most likely will be expected to be used submerged and if I have to grow it another 4 weeks for it to convert to fully submerged it may not be worth propagating that way.

[@Widquatics]

That's a good point and would make for a good experiment in the future too!

[@Dev-lc4cd]

Why would an emersed condition present a bottleneck to nutrition access? The nutrition is in the water, and it has constant access to the water in all three condotions.

[@bkrbkr69]

Tldr anyone?

[@brettallenthomas]

Dang.. I've seen Masters Experiments done with less clarity and data than this... well done..

[@Widquatics]

This is a huge compliment, thank you! :)
