PITA moss!

alright

at first I was happy to get ahold of some java moss, after reading about it being a good plant for purifing water and easy to grow.

So I planted it in my 30 gallon, along with a lot of other plants.

Sooner than I knew it, the moss had spread everywhere, clogging filters and worse, clogging my ricca.

I've removed a lot of it by hand, but I'm sure all it takes is one little strand to grow back an army.

I transfered a large glob of it (on a rock) into my un-lite (3 sides and the top of the tank are wrapped in aluminum to keep out light) nursery tank, where it appears to be growing unphased by the lack of light.

i tried separating it from ricca with tweezers, but that was too trying for my patience, so... now I'm wondering what to do.

I've got a small amount of uncorrupted ricca growing in another tank, hopefully it will continue and I can use some to re-seed the 30 gallon, but I'd like to get rid of the moss first.

any thoughts on ridding it once and for all?
