Shrimpygirl Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 My moss wall is not growing in as expected. Was hoping it would grow in a little thicker. It’s Java moss. Should I remove the front mesh. I have it sandwiched between two craft mash. Any tips would be great thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaus777 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 It's really a matter of time. I've done some walls that took a year to grow in. Is it thick behind the front mesh? I've found that if you have room, you can lay it down flat on the bottom of the tank so it gets direct light. Shrimpygirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpygirl Posted May 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Thanks for the reply. No it’s not thick I was worried if I got it to thick it would die. Sadly I don’t have room in the bottom of my tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShrimpfather Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Did you chop the moss up before placing it between the mesh? I ask because someone asked me once how I got my moss pads thick, mine are just stainless mesh pads with moss tied with fishing line. They tried it but came out kind of stringy like your wall. Only thing different I did, that they didn't was I chop the moss up to like 1/4" pieces before tying it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
