Growing java moss

[kitisg]

Hi, i was wandering what are the best conditions for java moss to flourish and fill up a tank quickly?

 

[Guest]

Ideal would be 2-3 wpg, CO2 injection and a good supply of nutrients. But you can grow it with much less than that but it will grow slower.

HI Rex, So can grow without CO2?

You can grow Java moss without CO2. In fact as long as you have light in the 2 wpg range and decent water and small amounts of nutrients it will grow. The big thing with Java moss seems to be temperature. If it gets too warm it's gone.

what's too warm?

 

[Guest]

Seems that if it gets much over 27-28c it is going to have problems.
