The evolution of my tree.

[Squiggle]

I just wanted to start this thread to document the evolution of my moss tree & I though I'd share it with all of you, enjoy! :encouragement:

First of all I tied some weeping moss to the tree, which is just a nice piece of driftwood with a nice shape. I want to try & create an underwater weeping willow effect.

This is two weeks later

Two weeks again. :)

I will try & post a pic every two weeks so you guys can see it progress. :beer:

[bozzy]

looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Hey Squiggs, got the makings of a beautiful scene there, look forward to seeing the end result.

Looks like a frag tank that we marine fanatics run except we tend to reef frags... Good work mate , but to satisfy my curious mind.... What have you tied to your tree ? I'll show you a snip of my reef garden....if you don't mind :)

[slin1977]

Ahhh weeping moss, gotcha ha ha ha ha. I am a big fan of Taiwan moss. ;)

[Squiggle]

Yeah, hopefully it hangs down & sways in the current. Nice acro dude, I love marine & hope I can get another reef again, only thing is this time I'm going to limit it to one tank & not have seven again, way too much work! lol

[Wraithie]

Oooh its so nice when the water is clear! ;)

Ill have to take a pic of my tree, im a bit bummed as i squirted excel onto a part to see if it affects the algae, now i have a brown fiss patch which will take AGES to heal :/

i like the look of that grassy moss second plate from the right

[Squiggle]

Thanks Oz, that's flame moss & it's due for a trim to start the next plate. :encouragement:

Looking good Squigs! Just wondering, seeing as the moss grows upwards towards the light, could you put the driftwood upside down until it is well established then turn it back the right way up to give it more of a weeping effect? Or would it just turn into a big messy clump once turned right way up???

[Squiggle]

I know what you mean but weeping moss grows down once it starts to get long enough, unlike other mosses. :encouragement:

[idlwld]

Ooopps, my bad :stupid:

[Squiggle]

All good, I'm pretty sure weeping moss is one of the only, if not the only, moss that droops down this way. :encouragement:

[Garnelchen]

That tree is coming along nicely, Squiggs.

You moss tank is the my favourite!

But hey! Do I see GUPPIES in there

I've got a moss tree too. It's one of those bonsai tree ornaments that Dean sells. I tied some moss to it a while ago (no idea what kind).

I like it but it needs a bit of a trim, I think :dejection:

Hang on...Ill take a picture.
