| With the high temperatures we're having here lately. THE growth of glosso is amazing. Would like to see you scape it more efficiently to utilize all materials you've. |

| Thanks Garothmaan ... I have just started building the new scape ... Its about a week and a half old ... Lot more changes, additions and tweaks to be made ... I should estimate full completion in about a month or so ... Since I only get to work on it on weekends |

One problem I am facing though is growing the Java moss due to the temperatures ...
Any suggestions aside from buying a chiller which is like 17 grand...
any diy stuff i can do?
I know cooling fans help bring the temp down about 2 degrees |

Thanks Jabba & Deba ... Lets hope all goes well until completion .. found the first hair algae in the new tank but not to worry yet .. the yamatos are on it and the Otos are taking care of the rest ...
Any idea on getting the moss to grow better? |
