I think that flame moss will come back with the right amount of care. I would keep a few small bits of rock and put it in a jar somewhere that doesn't get too much light. I think you'll be surprised at it's come back. I had a similar issue with Christmas moss a while back. I went crazy with light like i would with Monte Carlo.
I really appreciate these videos where you show the hard side of the hobby. You're a big inspiration for my aquarium and my favourite fishtuber at the moment for sure!
Wow. Thank you for sharing this part of the experiment that no one really shows or talks about. I don't have any experience with dry start nor flame moss. But this inspired me to try one.
Sometimes we do right, sometimes not. Here’s a great tip also. Don’t lay your dry start setup out in the sun on your deck. Cooked off half of my dry start Monte Carlo when the temps rose to over 50C. Live and learn. Thanks for sharing the good AND the bad!
I very much appreciate this. To publicly display your own failure so that others can become more educated and assured in their struggles is a noble act. Well done sir...no failure in this video at all.
Nice little piece on a failed attempt. Good way to salvage some content and also be transparent with everyone. I had a dry start I was trying with hairgrass that was really taking forever, I added monte carlo and it took off. The hairgrass started to fill in also. I'm enjoying your content. Keep it up.
The tank of life maybe more suitable now 4:38 Ofcourse we mess up. I gave up on mosses since my region is always hot. And have redone a tank after messing up soil ratio. But patience is something that grows up with this
I'm trying Taiwan flamemoss now. It's actually my first tank ever. 3 Days in and I'm seeing some Brown moss. My Light is a bit bright for the tank so I'll adjust the timing.
Hey! Amazing video as always, i love your videography work. Found the channel about a week ago and have watched every video since! How is hair grass for carpeting in your opinion? Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! I love hair grass! With and without co2 it is a great look. In low tech tanks, I love to you use it a detail plant in corners of hardscape
@@WorldofWhasian Awesome! I’ll have to give it a try. I shoot on a Canon EOS 5d Mark ii with a Rokinon 35mm 1.4, would love to know what setup you’re using!
I tried a starting some moss, using the dry start method on some rocks with a carpet of HC. The HC took off and did awesome the moss didn’t make it so don’t feel bad. I think it’s due to the lack of nutrients available on the rocks. I have seen other videos where people have used yogurt as a fertilizer during the dry start. I don’t know if you tried that.
I have seen the yogurt method around. Maybe I'll give it a shot! For this specific attempt I was using crushed up activated soil and mixing it in with the moss before I spread it on the rocks with a paint brush.
When you have no water the medium light becomes high light so u need to put that into consideration. Sorry you found out the hard way but it’s better than ignorance keep it up!
