  1. Jo-Ann fabrics and crafts? They have cotton thread but I don't know if it is organic. Once the cotton thread starts breaking down, will it foul up the water?
  2. I was wondering if there is anything I can use to tie down subwassertang and fontinalis antipyretica that would hold them against a surface long enough for them to attach (if they will even attach) and then have the tie either dissolve or fall apart. And if so where to get it. I saw a video that said organic sewing thread would work but I don't know where to buy it and don't know if it would eventually disintegrate. I would want it to disintegrate once the subwassertang and fontinalis take hold. I would be attaching the subwassertang to an upside-down clay pot. I have a piece of driftwood that I am undecided about what to put on it. I have narrowed it down to 3. It will either be: A. The fontinalis antipyretica B. Hookeriaceae sp. (Image attached) C. Riccardia chamedryfolia The wood that it would be going on is the one in the picture of the tank that I have attached. If I go with the fontinalis antipyretica I would start at the bottom of the wood and tie it down and then train it going up the wood tying it as it grows if it needs support or doesn't attach itself. I am kinda hoping that it will attach itself at the bottom over time and that it will either attached itself to the wood as it grows up it or that I could tie it as it grows and it would eventually attach and that the tie would eventually dissolve or disintegrate and fall off. Any thoughts and/or suggestions?
  3. I didn't realize it would get that big. I have it in my 55 and my 75. How long does it take to take root? It's been in the tanks for 4 days.
  4. @McNubbin is that Pogostamin stellatus "Octopus" on the right-hand side of the picture?
  5. Maybe I am blind. I don't see anything in the center of that tank except some rocks and a moss covered arch of wood.
  6. So, it is a root feeder? Would it get too big in a 10 gallon?
  7. Would a dwarf aquarium lily grow if I put it in the bottom hole of the upside down pot in my picture where the airline tube is now instead of in the substrate?
  8. Also, @Streetwise are you knowledgeable enough about plants to tell me if the plant is an eriocaulon if I added a picture. And do you think I should remove the land moss and add a dwarf lily and guppy grass.
  9. @Streetwise do you think that setup on the Aquasky thread would mimic North Florida light?
  10. Thank you. I didn't know about the thread for the Aquasky. I already looked at the one for the Plant Spectrum 3.0 but it doesn't have green and has 2 extra types of white.
  11. Should I cut each of these down by a third for a 10 gallon?
  12. I recently bought a Fluval Aquasky light. I want great growth out of my plants in my 10 gallon tank. I have a Rosette sword, staurogyne repens, hairgrass, some land moss that I converted to submersed growth and was doing ok for a while but is now not looking so good, and just put in an unidentified plant that was mislabeled at PetSmart as hornwort but I think might be some type of pipewort (eriocaulon). I'm considering taking the land moss out since it isn't doing well and adding a dwarf lily from aquarium co-op and some guppy grass and maybe attaching some windelov java fern or java moss or some other moss like flame moss or Christmas moss to the wood structure in the tank. The tank will eventually have Gulf Coast Pygmy Sunfish in it once I can get it to grow in dense enough. What kind of light schedule would you guys and gals suggest or think would be great for the types of plans I have for this tank? I wanted to mimic the light in nature in North Florida but it isn't necessary as long as I can get great growth and get the tank to have plenty of jungle-like areas but also a place where I can see the fish. Also, what would you suggest as tank mates for the pygmy sunfish? They would have to leave the baby sunfish alone . I was thinking either celestial pearl danios, guppies, endler's live-bearers, or chili rasboras but their water parameters must match the pygmy sunfish. Any thoughts?
