Tom Gunner Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I thought it might be Riccia attached to the rocks, but it seems denser - Xmas moss possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy_t Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think it might be peacock moss.. one of the ones we can't get here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Gunner Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Great tip Bill - I'll give that a go. I use the old hairnet trick. I cover the stone in Riccia or moss, then get a hairnet - and double wrap it around then gluegun the back to keep it on tight. In a few weeks the Riccia completely covered the stones.

Tom Gunner Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I believe the tank with the big tree toot is one of Oliver Knott's tanks: http://www.plantella.com/ This is a catalogue of the majority of Takashi Amano's show tanks: http://www.flickr.com/photos/xylema/ Some of these are breathtaking.

shell Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Wow. Great sites. My fav is the winner of the ADA layout contest 06 as judged by Amano. It describes the plants and fish used. Looks incredibly natural. http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/ADA2006.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
