I used to have a nicely planted 90 gallon tank, but my plecos and buenos ares tetras ate everything except one crypt and Java moss... Now my tank looks uninteresting and the moss fills with waste, floats freely and clogs my filter intake. I do like moss, but I'd doesn't seem to stay on my driftwood (I've used fishing line, rubber bands, and kitchen twine to no avail).
I am going to embrace the non-planted tank, and got two Suriname Eartheaters (Geophagus Proximus) and I have an extra large driftwood that isn't in the tank.
Has anyone redesigned an established tank without taking it apart and starting over? Any advice or pictures of tanks with just driftwood, moss, and rocks?
