I've seen the moss 'milkshake' used as green graffiti... Where artists draw with the paste in a damp area and let the spores turn to moss on a wall...

So yeah, it definitely works ;)

Yeah, I hadn't actually seen it in action till last year. I didn't have a need for it in my current tank but for another large scale project (or something like yours) I would definitely try it!

I love it. I do feel that when color gets added it will be even better. It may be early to talk about this but what fish do you intend to keep and water the volume of water in this behemoth

Tanks looking really sweet... although i agree, can't wait to see it all painted to see what the actual effect looks like...

The vines imo, don't look too bad, although maybe setup them up so they hang at the lowest point more off center to give it less of a man made effect, if you get what i mean?

Namaste Abin,

If you are buying your plants in or near Kerala I would ask someone from the store to come see your place. You are buying so many that someone would probably come to your house to give you advice. If you are buying from the internet it is a different question.

For fish: You still have to wait for the tank to cycle and for the chemistry. If it were my tank I would buy a school of goldfish and make sure I could take them back to the pet store for credit. That will help get the water ready for the fish you really want to keep.

Your tank is large enough to have a Red Tailed Catfish. They are beautiful fish that are very friendly to people.

Do you want a few large fish or many, many smaller fish?

Thank you for sharing your story! It is beautiful.

Nate
