mosses and ferts

[TheresaM]

Couldn't seem to find this anywhere on the forum: I keep a variety of mosses in my tanks, do they benefit from ferts?

Any sort of plant in your tank will benefit from ferts added to the tank. Similarly they also tend to like a little flow.

Mosses are column feeders I believe; that being said, I make sure to squirt in my liquid ferts right over my moss when I dose in the morning. Don't know if it makes any difference at all, but I'd like to think it does, lol ?

Most mosses are nitrate hogs!
@DLee, make sure never to squirt liquid carbon (excel) directly on them, this will burn the moss. Any other ferts are fine.

Good to know. I shoot the Excel into my hob to get it circulating, and the ferts right over the moss. Thank you for the warning!
