My 10g shrimp tank.
The white mesh on the back wall is the beginning of a moss wall. If you notice the right wall is a moss wall about 90% full.

FishyMatty- your moss has a nice color. is that not java moss? is that standard needlepoint mesh? cause the one i have seems like the holes are too small for java moss. have any issues with moss blocking your hob intake?

I got a quick question, will 15 watts of light on a 10 gallon tank be enough for any kind of plant that can carpet my floor? Like dwarf hair grass or something like that.

IME dwarf hairgrass takes a combination of things to successfully carpet your foreground, i.e. nutrient rich soil, co2, fertilizers and at least 2WPG.
There are other carpet plants that will spread in a low tech tank like glosso.
here is a picture of one of my tanks that has 4.8wpg, co2 and fertilizers.

It is java moss in my moss walls. Even when the back wall grows in I'm not worried about the HOB since I already have java moss tied around the intake to prevent any shrimp from getting sucked up. The mesh is from walmart and thats all I know about it. My fiance likes to sew and just had it laying around.

I use eco-complete for soil. If you can't find it at your LFS or they can't get it I would suggest ordering this soil http://www.adgshop.com/product_p/104-031.htm
This stuff is amazing and is very nutrient rich. If you choose to order this read everything carefully and get the right amount.
As far as fertilizers go there is a lot of opinions on how to dose correctly, this is a good start for a dosing schedule but you will have to adjust according to the types of plants, the amount of light, co2 and growth rate.
Unless you add co2 adding fertilizers and high WPG may cause a sever algae problem. My advice is READ READ READ.
