Re: [Killietalk] java moss

Hello Gary

I have grown Java Moss in both soft and hard water.   It does seem to
grow better for me in water that is slightly alkaline.   Best growth i
had was in a 55 gallon tank set up for some Xiphophorus Nezzies...
Tank was lit with a shop light on 10 hrs a day and temps were about 75F
most of the time.  I also was growing Watersprite on the surface so that
cut down the intensity of the lights.    In your montreal water it
should grow really well with medium light.   A friend of mine grew his
in 20 gallon longs with CO² injection and the single bulb hood that
covers most 20longs.   His java moss was so lush and green it even
flowered for him, which i have never seen before or since.   

Good luck!!

John
