Low Tec Moss Tank

[sasquatch]

here are some pics of our kitchen octagon tank, 18 gal with a sump just can't stand receding water lines. Moss is easy, very low flow, minimal lighting, no nutrients and Cherry shrimp just love it.

LOL Where? Maybe when the kids are all off at college I can take over one of the bedrooms as a fish room with the closet for an equipment room. That is still a couple of years away though and if I get another tank now I need a bigger house.
It's too hot here to grow moss very well outside even. I have plenty of room outside.

I love moss. It is just cooling down outside to begin growing. It will grow between the stone pavers, on the damp flower beds (now mostly bush beds since I invest my time in tanks not the garden), and along the creek bank. Oh, and I can't forget, on the north side of the trees - can't get lost around here

nice thing about tank moss is a small clipping in a zip loc bag can be mailed anywhere and they survive

I am glad to hear I am not the only one who has neglected the garden due to growing amounts of tank time.
My yard looks awful but I just can't seem to find the time for both. Maybe if I spent less time staring at the tanks but I don't see that happening.

Hi Witful,
I love your dry land moss garden. Maybe I will do one and add a sasquatch in it.
