And the tank is just lovely. So good to see a scape that gives full appreciation to mosses. 😘
Another one of my favorite mosses
Great tips. I just shared this with a buddy who doing a moss only tank.
+pittbully13 Good deal man, he better get to work planting that moss!! Or I am coming for him. Let him know...
Dude, tank is looking great! Great video on the moss too. I just picked some up, so I was pleased to see that you had a video on it.
+TWK Aquascaping Party on man!
I love fissidens among others moss out there. It has lovely shape to please the eye
Your tank pearls like crazy.
Great vid Dave! Really loving this scape! Keep those vids coming!
+Mark-jan Fioole thanks man, now get planting that moss!!
Good video Dave! This is one moss that I've never had good luck with.
Nice job all round Dave.
ADU Aquascaping Hmmm. Maybe.
I grow moss very well without CO2 at all. I started off with one tiny piece of fissiden and now have 8 big balls of it in just a couple of months.
Nice info Dave Love the way the tank looks. you need is a scary log cabin in the middle back right in the center and it's ready for Halloween.
+Ruben haha, I should have. I will get a Santa for Christmas. lol
I know I say this all the time, but your tanks are so amazing & gorgeous 😊 I just did my 2nd tank & used weeping moss attached to wood in hopes that it’ll look like a weeping willow tree. My tank looks like a kids tank compared to yours 😕 I’m still new to this though! I love your vids! 💝
Can't wait for part 3
That tank is looking good!
+Oscar Segundo Get planting that moss man!!
+ADU Aquascaping Yeah man I've actually been wanting to get me some mosses. Your tank/videos inspire me to mess with my tank. Imma try to go with co2 and also upgrade my light. I'm liking your new lights. maybe I'll go with one of those!
Once you get rolling I have plenty of moss I can sell you for cheap.
Good video Dave and what an amazing scape ! Just stunning :)
+OZZYTHEOSCAR Dude! thanks for checking in! I hope you are getting enough water this year. I am really hoping we get snow this winter, or else I may have to start recycling my tank water and drinking it. Get planting your moss!!!
awesome how to's for moss great EDITING
+Beyond Aquatic Design Look! The moss doesn't care about editing. It only wants you to have good flow! Get planting your moss dude!!! LOL
awesome
Second is Called Aquatic Moss Group
we have ALOT of members that sell, grow, and just share great Information about plants and moss. tons of rare and hard to find moss and plants also
As always...Great video Dave!
+Laura Wrenn
Get to work on figuring out your flow!! And plant some moss!!LOL
Hi, I really enjoy your videos. Do you have a video of you aquascaping this tank? I think it's beautiful...one of the best I've seen.
Thanks
S.
I don't actually have a video. I do an analysis video though. One of my older videos. I think it is called New nature aquarium. I talk about the process, and!!! In another video called "scaping with the triangular scape or using the golden spiral or something... I can't remember what it is called, I talk about using the golden ratio spiral etc....
been waiting on this one
Another great Vid!! I know this is an older vid of yours, but I’m hoping u can help me with some mini pellia issues I’m having. I bought ten mats of this moss to attach to the top of a “tree” shaped driftwood. The moss didn’t arrive in the greatest of conditions, but after 6 weeks I’m seeing very little to no new growth, and there seems to be browning occurring on certain spots that go and come. I’m thinking that the ferts I’m dosing may be “burning” the mini pellia and not allowing full growth. My PH is at 6.0-6.5, around 40PPM of CO2 after a few hours of lighting. Also, I have a twinstar 900S lighting fixture. My tank is fully cycled and is at 0-0-10/15ppm. Water temp steady at 75. Could my ferts be causing issues. I’m currently dosing NilocG Thrive, Iron once a week, and potassium about three times a week. I have a Monte Carlo carpet that’s spreading and growing healthy, some Anubias, and larger stem plants that are growing insanely. Can I cut down on the ferts without affecting the other plants? What would you recommend?
I would LOVE a breakdown of the animal and plants you keep in this tank. I love the aesthetic. I'm trying to creates a low cost no co2 tank and yours is a nice starting off piont i think.
Equales Rex in my "40 gallon nature aquarium aquascape" video I have all that information in the video description. It is the introduction video I use for my channel. You can also find it in the cinematic aquarium videos Playlist on my channel.
This tank itself is high-tech, but some of the mosses and the Monte Carlo could be grown low-tech
I did have a look at the 40Gallon intro video but the flora in that tank are very different to the ones in this tank. Does give me a break down though, so i'll wade though the ones i think will work for my low tech tank. Thanks. Great Video btw!
Equales Rex oh yeah a bit different. In this tank I had: blyxa Japonica, potamogeton gayi, S. Repens, Monte Carlo, microsword, hydro sp. Japan, Mini pellia liverwort AKA Riccardia, fissidens fontanus moss, peacock moss, Java moss, Anubias Nana petite, and Cyprus helferi.
Awesome, thanks ADU! Subscribed! What are you using on the left hand side of your tank to give the different heights of the bedding? Lava rock? More drift wood? Weights?
is that only two pieces of wood? they are perfect, great find!
+Chris Locke Yes!! How could you tell!? Get to work planting moss Chris!!!
I have this moss on driftwood growing for about 3 months now and finding lots of long green strands of hair (algae?) coming off it. I have to pull out as much as possible after every weekly water change otherwise it will get out of control. Are you or anyone else out there with this moss finding the same issue? It’s a beautiful looking moss when it’s thick and full but some part of me regrets getting it now because of this issue.
I was wiping duck weed off of my wrist when you said keep yet sleeves wet
Haha nice! Thanks for watching
Nice vid Dave. Thanks
+Hugh Melton Thanks man, get to work with your rocks!!
Great Movie!
greetz BD Aquascaping
+BD Aquascaping Thanks man, now get to to work planting that moss!!
What is your weekly levels of nutrients? or what product do you use to fertilize?
How could anyone dislike this video. Like how???
A lot of people genuinely hate fish and aquariums. I don't really understand why they don't just leave the video instead of disliking tho.
I've read in several articles where this moss requires a lot of current in order to thrive as well as keeping clean? They also said that using air line tubing is necessary. What's your method of keeping this plant staying fluffy and green?
very nice tank!!!
Thanks! Glad you like it
ADU Aquascaping love your videos..wish I can make my 55 gallon low tech tank this nice...
great informational video! i really like the most on your DW, can you tell me what moss is that on your DW in the first couple of mins in the video? TIA
naldjb Fissidens, Riccardia, and Java mosses. Check out all three videos in this series. Thanks for watching
i can honestly say that riccardia is more hard than fissidens. I have java moss christmass moss, triangle moss, fissidens in my tank with no problem except riccardia.
Can you just tie the Fissiden onto the driftwood without the superglue?
Could you please tell me any tips for cameron moss?
also, are you in our groups on Facebook? We have Group one called, USA Freshwater Shrimp And Plants.
Oh, I will have to check it out, and thanks for the invitation. Are you a part of Aquascaping the World on Facebook?
what´s the name of that black and yellow fish?
Do sae fish eat plants? fisiden fontanus and flama mos
Yes, they do eat Java moss. They didn't eat the Fissidens moss. They may eat flame moss and peacock moss. They seem to really enjoy java moss.
Will this moss take over a tanks walls and hob filters like java moss?
Does fissidens moss need high light? I have a broad spectrum led light.
hi can you just put the moss just on the substrate as I as want to make a carpet I have just set up the new fluval flex tank I put in some low plants but I have melt back I have some cryps in and some moss on my bog wood and moss balls would then small low plants die or will they pick up tanks been running three days now I have some good plant substrate with small black gravel for the top I am going to put co2 in but not sure what. kind I have some in a can that's what my other tanks have but I have some co2 on order then in a bottle I am also doing a fishless cycle I am going to leave it running about three weeks but test my water one a week or every other day cheers happy fish keeping
you can put the moss on sponge if you want. Cut the sponge into thin sheets and glue or tie the moss onto it!
Nice vids. What do you feel are the best mosses etc. (other then Java) that grow well without the use of C02?
Thanks
+ol Relic christmass moss, fissidens moss, willow moss.
Thanks for teaching me par , I get now. I don't know what par my LED are , but I know in the light Spectrum we see the opposite what plants see & that what counts, I used Dustin's Blasters LED at 30" deep , This street lamp can grow baby tears & only use 21 watts , 15 " long & I pay $150 , I know you are a Master, but you will be dangerous with Dustin's Blasters Led
+Eugenio Vazquez yes, it will work great. It is probably similar to the Finnex Ray II, but with the Halo I don't need anything else.
I was just curious how many bps od co2 do u on average use in your tanks
how do you get co2 behind the branch? i have my diffuser set right next to the wave maker, that sends in continuously in 1 direction, & observe that 1 part of the tank there is No micro bubbles of co2 lurking around
I have an online diffuser, so it dissolves some of the gaseous CO2 as well, which helps distribution. You may have to move your configuration around to get optimized results
Hi, i just bought a fissidens fontanus aka. phoenix moss..
i'm trying to make it shape like a moss ball. So my question is
1. do i need to arrange the moss to be in 1 direction so that when it grows it will make a nice fluffy ball moss?
2. if i use super glue how long should i wait till i can put it in to my tank?
3. is it okay if i put the rest of the moss that i dont use into an empty bottle?
4. about store it in drawer?
thanks alot :)
you can put it in the tank right after placing the glue onto the moss. You just want to make sure you do thin strands or clumps of moss. It will grow up and like a pillow on its own. I rarely trimmed mine... You can put it in a bottle with some water and place it under a desk lamp. In the dark it will go dormant. I am sure you could bring it back to life over time, but would take longer than keeping it green!
ADU Aquascaping thx for replying.. ohhh okay... hmmm how kong does it takes to growth? my rock is around 1/2 inch long ... how long it takes for you to get the fluffy pillow like moss? thank you
My Phoenix is brown not green... Why is that?
It's sometimes hard to catch the names could you list the plants you talk about in the description?

this list is from another video. "40 gallon nature aquarium" video. I just copied.
What are those small black fish with the yellow stripes
+Red Is For Ronny They are Bumblebee Gobies. They can be hard to take care of and need really small micron sized fry food, such as Golden Pearls specialty food. And a current that sweeps across the substrate of your tank. Thanks for watching.
Will 79 F degrees kill it or give it a rough time? Also what about fissidens nobilis?
Jeremy McReynolds no, it will be fine. 83-84 is where it can start to cause issues
@@ADUAquascaping will tropical fish tolerate 79°F temps?. Also, my house gets pretty hot and i dont have a chiller. And cant afford to get one. So if i get it what are my options?
@@kathleenmonsegue9700 that temp is fine. You can look at Marinedepot.com for a chiller. Maybe an inline one that fits to a canister filter
I am having so much trouble with my mosses. I can't grow them right and yet they are my favorite plant(?) for scaping.
Are they not bushy or have algae? It can be tough, maybe your temperature is high in your area? Thanks for watching! Hopefully I can upload more videos once I get a scape set up!
@@ADUAquascaping Algae, and I was not dilligent with my trimming. But that's because right now I have baby shrimps that like to hide among the mosses and I was afraid of accidentally mutilating them. Lol.
Some mosses tend to grow nicer in lower light, they will get shaped better and finer. Also try keeping it clean by having waterflow and maybe manually cleaning it, so algeas will not take over
What filter do you use? And size of that tank please.
bradley stapleton I use an API Filstar medium size canister filter and the aquarium is a 40 gallon breeder. Great dimensions for aquascaping
What do you mean when you said 30-100 par , what is par ?
+Eugenio Vazquez Just the radiation measured in micromols. It is the standard now for determining needed light in your tank. 30-49 is medium light, and 50-100 is high, 100+ is very high, below 30 is low. All of these measurements are taken at the substrate, which is the lowest point from the light source. You will see many manufacturers using this measurement as a means to demonstrate how much radiation their fixture will produce, but real-world results will vary. Research PAR ( photosynthetically active radiation) Even more important is PUR (photosynthetically usable radiation). Just has to do with the amount of photons being produced by the light, and the type of nanometer it is emitting. Different plant pigments respond to different wavelengths of light. This, of course, is a very simple explanation.
Can we use any brand of super glue? TIA
+John Ang Loctite super glue gel works because it is cyanoacrylate.
😎
what lights are you using?
+Anh Tran These are AquaticLife Halo LEDs, really great LED for the price. Check out my review video that I did on these lights!!!
hey i have a 60l aquarium i just got a co2 set and have some soil like not dirt but i need a better light i want to grow well sorta the same plants that you got here and the light i was thinking of was 4 lamp so hang over with 6500k bulbs on is that good? or what works?
+olav blikra A 4 lamp T5HO 6500k lamp will work really well. I have blyxa japonica, cyprus helferi, hydro sp, japan, Fissidens moss, Riccardia (Mini Pellia), Java moss, Monte Carlo (carpet plant), Anubias nana petite, Staurogyne repens, Micro sword, Potamogeton gayi,
Yeah i need to see around i dont live in USA or England soo its hard getting stuff here. but in Your nature aquarium i think its one of Your old tou have a javafern the bushy one ill be getting the narrow leaf maybe(it will probely be too big) but wasent it to mutch light for a javafern?
They can handle higher light. I got the thread leaf java, which is similar to narrow leaf, but doesn't get quite as long.
where do you get the mesh and what's it's made of?
+Jon Bettas you could buy stainless steel screen mesh at a hardware store and make your own, or you can usually find the mesh through online shrimp dealers, or online fish shops.
+ADU Aquascaping thanks!
Is this fissidens sp mini or fissidens fontanas?
fontanus
@@ADUAquascaping
Got got any moss/Fissisdins for sale?
right now all my moss has melted from me moving. I am trying to grow it back out for my next scape, so right now I don't have any.
what do i need to have a medium to high light like can i just use a 50watt lightbulb? i want it in a nano aquarium
+olav blikra That will be fine in a small tank that will be plenty of light!!! Get to work planting your moss, or I will smash your tank with a hammer! LOL
im now preparing to setup my first high Tech tank With soil,co2 and a light that should be fine for my 60l its a aqualighter 1 60cm. i will have som medium/hard plants. i have some fertilizer from elos too but any tips on what is smart to do when i prep to make it happen? some dos and do not?
What kind of substrate are you gong to be using?
a mix between tropica soil and some ada soil
You will want to start out doing frequent water for the first two weeks because ADA releases a lot of ammonia, maybe do two water changes per week. It can be a lot of work at the beginning.
Hey Dave I have a quick question. I couldn't help but notice the surface of your water looks just like the surface of mine in the sense that it looks like you have a film of sorts covering the surface. Is that caused by the plants? I thought it was caused by my melting rotala but I now have wisteria and it's still occurring.
it is because Oils from plants ;)
+Anh Tran Aahh okay that clears things up haha thank you! Is there anything I should be worried about in terms of it possibly hindering my gas exchange? Do I just need enough surface agitation to keep it somewhat clear?
Check out the eheim skimmer
Around 50$ 45$
Its just look annoying haha nothing to worried about
which bedding plant is at 0:39 ?
Equales Rex it is Monte Carlo. A very easy to grow carpeting plant. Very nice and easy. Can be grown in low-tech as well. Although this Aquarium in the video is not low-tech it is high-tech. Thanks for watching!
+ADU Aquascaping
I am waiting on the "master" to do the video to show me how to do it...lol
Really...starting a 65 gallon soon (picking up the tank
black Friday) :)
Nobody has a great video on flow in a high tech setup.
Could use your knowledge ;)
+Laura Wrenn Haha, I think I will do one. It can include the different configurations.
I knew you would have a plan ;) !!
Dave how can I get in contact with you?
+Jake Tracy my new email is fishfinaticsdob23@gmail.com. Man! I really wish I could go to the experience, but I have tests this weekend! Now I see Dustin did a video on it. I wish I could somehow setup my tank at the convention and meet everyone. Hit me up with your other ideas you mentioned.
Stainless steel mesh?
Elizabeth Johnston yep stainless steel mesh screen. Used for planting moss
Like they use for some window screens? Or, where do you get it from?
John Bear's Fish Room no, more stiff than that. Lowe's or some aquarium stores. Online stores like Hansaquatics sells it
I thought fissidens montana was phoenix moss
? fontanus. It is, this is fissidens fontanus
@@ADUAquascaping I seem to have made a note of a fissidens montana, can't remember where from, maybe I was high at the time, just ignore me.
@@MoreChannelNoise haha hey no worries. Comments are welcome.
