Elo500 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Is there a way to label moss growing on ss mesh? I've picked up a few oddball moss on 1x1 mesh and would like to stick some sort of label on the bottom so I can tell them apart. Has anyone come up with a way to do this? Maybe a piece of white plastic and a sharpe? Don't know if sharpe is shrimp safe.... WelchMout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 maybe you could use a color system? Like colored string tied to the mesh in a corner? Then you can keep a list.. green = xmas moss, blue = java... etc. That way no sharpie in the water. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 You could write with a sharpe on the glass of the tank. Just don't move the moss around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk chibikaie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibikaie Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 And if you need to remove permanent marker, most will dissolve with rubbing alcohol. The ones that don't are generally expensive enough that you'll know if it's alcohol proof before you try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 That's how I label mine. Used a label maker onto a plastic tab. You can use a sharpie but eventually fades under water. aquariumlover10, manticore, High5's and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metageologist Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Use a grease pen wipes off easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elo500 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 @h4n so you print a label on adhesive paper than apply to plastic? Or print directly on plastic ? What kind of label maker? That' looks perfect! aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Its one of those cheap dymo label printer I got on black Friday for $10. Its prints out a sticky label I then apply it to a plastic tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
