I was just thinking, if you went through all that trouble of getting it to 'stick' to the gravel, what happens when it comes time to vacuum the gravel?

Things that make you go hmmm....

That is a good point. I wonder how people face that problem when they have small grass-type plants carpeting sections of their tanks? hmmm......

I am thinking about how the j moss grabbs everything. I imagine once it is estabilished in the gravel, you could probably pick up the whole carpet, vaccum underneath and then lay it back down. there would always be enough rocks stuck to the bottom of the carpet to hold it back in place when done. and it isn't like you are going to disturb the roots. a good pair of underwater barber clippers and you could give it a nice flat top look once a week or so.

:laugh: For some reason when I picture that, It reminds me of the cartoons I used to watch years ago when the character would be sweeping the floor and lift up the rug to sweep the dirt under. Only more of a cartoon fish in a round fish bowl kinda thing.
