Hello. So I went out and bought a bunch of java moss from a LFS. Was hoping to create a wall of moss, somehtign similiar to the one in this tutorial.
So went out and bought soem fiberglass window screen, the screen that goes in windows. But as I started, I realized two problems I hadn't thought of first.
1) The screen I got is not the right size. As I was in a rush, the store closing just as I got to their doors, I grabs the first package fo screen I saw. The holes in this mesh is 3mm. Do you think this would provide enough space for the Java Moss to grow out from? or should I go for soemthing bigger and if so, any suggestion, as I am not sure if I can find regular screen that has a hole of 7-8mm as recommended by the tutorial.
2) Forgot all about have a heater on the back wall of my tank. So what I was wodnering was this:

2) Forgot all about have a heater on the back wall of my tank. So what I was wodnering was this:
- Would Java Moss growing near the heater hidner its proformance?
- Would the heater being so close to the java moss harm the moss in any way?
- Another problem concernign the heater was how to attach the moss wall to the back of the tank while leaving an open space for the heater attachment fixture (a rectangular ficture with two suction cups.)
- Will a plastic mesh so close to the heater cause any problems?
