Looks great, but I think it would look better if you have the pieces of wood leaning against each other.

On the right is a water sprite. On the left is a hornwort that is now out of the tank. It collected too much debris from the water and just looked messy.

Thats a nice looking tank. Love the rock. Moss balls are cool, they absorb excess nutrients in the water. With that being the only live thing in a tank that size I cant vouch for how much it will do but they are still cool to watch grow.

I was thinking maybe two of them to help soak up the nutrients. I think I may give it a shot next week.

Yeah cant hurt. I have had one only for a couple weeks so I cant say how fast they grow. Maybe somone else here can give some input.

Thanks for the quick response! Did it grow at all for you? Are there any requirements for them?

It hasnt grown yet. The only requirements are good water and some fishies.

I believe it is just Dwarf Hairgrass.

I would like a carpet like that. They need co2? Also, does it spread through the substrate?

I wouldn't suggest it. They usually need fertilizers to survive. Although i think your light is good they usually dont last long without fertizing. But it could be worth a shot.

I thought they were pretty much self sufficient ?

I would put dwarf hair grass on the hard side. It requires high lighting, nutrients, and definitely fertilizers for it to carpet like you would want. Any carpeting plant has these requirements to an extent.

The only requirments for a marimo moss ball are water and some light lol. They are the easiest, least demanding plant ever (in fact, it's an algae)

If it's a form of algae i guess i will have a moss ball soon enough without having to shop for it
