I've actually had pretty good luck with superglue for attaching moss in the past. However, I did try something different once - I used a fine stainless steel mesh, and then covered it with a fine cotton mesh. It took a few weeks, but the moss eventually filled in nicely.

I've had some success with Vallis by cutting the Excel dosage in half. Some species seem more tolerant to it than others, and I've found that at this reduced rate, it grows just fine.

Lighting might be the culprit behind your carpet plant struggles. I'd suggest giving cryptocoryne parva a shot.

I've also had success with superglue, specifically the cyanoacrylate type, it's been a reliable option for me.

You're gonna want to get some live rock - it acts as your filtration - and a refractometer to keep an eye on your water parameters. A set of test kits is also a must, along with some good quality salt. Circulation pumps ...

I'd recommend considering a larger tank, as it'll be easier to maintain stable water parameters. That being said, it's not impossible to make a 10-gallon work - you'll just need to be ...

Generally, it's a slow-growing plant, but I've noticed that its growth rate can vary depending on the lighting conditions. The leaves are quite ...

I've had success with a more budget-friendly approach to substrate, currently using an inert option for my hi-tech plants and it's working out just fine. If you're really looking to save, you could consider using terracat litter and capping it with gravel - not the prettiest solution, but it gets ...
