The petco near me has loads of java moss. They have a tank for aquatic plants and they have a lot of it. And it even has a piece of white plastic on it telling you that its java moss

I'm going to assume he means Berkley, California. And since you're in Cali too, I think the person he talked to was mistaken

I live in florida and I am finding it hard to find Java Moss local. Its all over
E Bay, But I hate to pay more in shipping than what I want to order.

Update:

well here is the update from after painting the BG. you will notice there are some chips in the "root" and soome small ones elsewhere. i had a hard time getting it out of the terarium, and ended up crackin and chipping pieces. Also im not too happy with how my "root" came out. it kinda looks like poop. lol anyways im sure it will be fine when i get the plants grown in.

here we go:

Next step will be the FF i have a few questions that im going to post in a dif thread. then im guna try to figure out where im putting a pump for the waterflow. ect. ect. then on to planting and getting the tank up and running! yay!

how big was the cooler that you used

heartagramtc · #27 (**permalink**) 01-19-2009, 10:29 AM

the cooler i used was the biggest one i found at my local 7-11. id say you could easily fit 8 20oz. bottles in it with some ice. i didnt check the volume when i got it. it kinda didnt last very long after i got home. lol

You can buy a sheet of foam from home depot that is inexpensive as well, and you wont have to worry about the size restrictions imposed by the size of the cooler. You can also go to just about any store in the mall and ask for their packing foam (or wal-mart, or any other store for that matter, lol). I've brought home a few good pieces from the Macy's where I work that I'll be using for the beardie enclosure. They have to pay for their trash pickup, so if you take stuff that means they can fit more in the bin. They are usually happy to let you have stuff like that.
