    Quick question. :)

    Do you think the holes in this would be too small for a Java moss carpet?

    I’ve made a java moss carpet before by just sprinkling gravel on top of the moss until it takes hold. Worked pretty well, at least since I didn’t have fish actively ripping the moss up.

    Symmo i use this stuff for a spawning grid, you know where the eggs fall through and the fish cant eat them. It can also be used as a tank divider in larger sizes. I dont know about the moss carpet though cos the holes are only small and i dont think much light would get through to get it started. Worth a try though.
    Chris.. Lol whys the lad selling that on ebay??? hes just told us what we need and where to get it, he’s also been thoughtful enough to leave full instructions for us to do it ourselves. Ha ha how he makes any money is beyond me. Class idea though.

    Hey chr15_8
    where are you going to in the US? Just for vacation? Hope you like it, i’ve only been to the airport in London, passing through. I think you will like the currency conversion much better than I did ;)
