    Unless you are meticulous about keep floating moss to a minimum when trimming .. I say go for one type of moss per tank - or run the risk of having one big moss mess in a few months.

    thanks for the info f-fish

    got the moss this morning, both still in a mesh sheet, have to keep them in the mesh for a while, then once i see alot of growth, i will start to plant it in the tank, was also thinking of splitting the two type, one in my 2ft and the other in the 3ft, will first chat to the dude that gave them to me, and see what he thinks.

    was thinking of doing a moss carpet for now, then later doing the moss on the driftwood an Lava Rock.

    will post pics later on
