Looks great.

Does fissidens require CO2 to do well?

Wow, thats stunning.
When you moving the moss wall, did you find any bodies?
Ive heard shrimp and small fish get trapped behind them... Im asking because im planning on making a moss wall, but i may use magnets to keep it flush with the glass as shown in a tutorial in the planted section.

Thanks, I don't have any fish in this tank, but I had a moss wall on my previous tank also, just make sure its well attached to the back glass and no fish can get trapped in there, I had it for about a year and was fine.

Looks great.

Thanks, no CO2 or liquid carbon is added to this tank, just TPN+

Just a quick update, the first lot that bred are about half a cm in size now and I have seen about 6-7 of them at the same time in the tank so things are looking good, today I spotted some more tiny 1mm red/white CRS. But also spotted 3-4 Black CRS, so I now have the Red and Black Crystals breeding in the tank
The fan really helped with the hot weather, the temps never went above 25C, now the its becoming a bit cooler and with the fans was taking the temp down to 18C I have turned them off, so the temp now stays are around 23-24C

Thanks for looking

Looking great LD! I love this style of scape, atm its much more appealing to me than the high tech aquascapes, and im currently enjoying the lack of maintenance with my rekord 60-which makes a change from my nano

Many thanks, I redone my Fissidens carpet recently to complete the entire front of the tank, it still looks in pretty bad shape as it needs to grow and recover, since its a very slow grower that will be a couple of months at least.

Wow, stunning moss. Your tank is magnificent. Wish my moss would grow... at all

What is your WPG on the lighting, may I ask?
