Re: [AGA-Member] I can't grow mosses

[Juan Ignacio Pucheu <jpucheu@gmail.com>]

Maybe there is too much light. If glosso it's growing well, you have a 
middle to high intensity light setup. Try to attach very tight
the mosses to more dimmed places, like under a big echinodorus or a 
dense group of bunch plants.
Best regards,
Juan.-
