Moss Wall.

Well, I used the plastic canvas for needle point, which I got in the Walmart craft section. It's the same stuff someone posted earlier. Then I used a bath sponge "poof" and unraveled it to cover the needle point grid and hold down the moss, which I then stapled to secure everything. The staple just rusts over and is covered by moss. Then I cut a hole and put a suction cup in the middle of the grid and stuck it on the wall. Be careful of this though, as some fish may decide to swim behind it and get stuck. If you want, you can do the entire perimeter of the wall with suction cups, and it should lessen that possibility.

It was based off of this, except with the "poof" covering instead of thread and the needle point for backing:

As was my carpet. The first link uses the "poof" material I am talking about.

They sell plastic mesh at home depot and at craft stores. I used a 1/4 grid for the face of the wall and a 1/8 grid for the back of the wall. Instead of using zip ties and suction cups I cut my grid to the exact size of the inside of the tank wall, then sewed the two pieces together(with the moss in the middle) and snugged it up to the inside of the glass, then put in the substrate. Here is a picture of moss wall at week 4. I will update with another pic of week 7 as soon as I get my camera to work.
