i like those ideas. also my background is not attached yet. im in the process of coating it in the grout. so its not even in the tank right now. i really like your idea with running it along the root.

as for the java moss, im going to go to my Local Fish Store to see if i can get some there. as ive foud out they use it in aquariums.

again thanks for all your input! helps me out a bunch!

NP, I love to help. I'm getting some AWESOME, FREE glass Saturday, and I have lots of ideas in my head from helping all you guys.

I'll expect you to return the favor, of course.

Ok so I called all the local fish stores, no luck. I then called my local vivarium store, East Bay Vivariums, located in berkley. The gentleman who I spoke to said that java moss is illegal to sell. Is this true? Can someone verify this for me?

Ok so here is my latest update. nothing special just the second and third coat of grout going on. the 3 steps so far have been very liquidy, kinda like paint. next step will be a thicker coat. as im adding coats i will be adding detail of course. as you can see in some of the pics i was playing around with the brush strokes on the "root". so here are the latest pics:

well thats it for now. i will post up more pics within the next few days with my last few coats of grout and maybe by this weekend i will begin the detail work and paint!

Lies!!!

I think java moss is legal to sell in america, everywhere. Where do you live?

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
