How To Use Cladophora Marimo Moss Balls in an Iwagumi Aquascape
Вставка

- Following on from the previous video and by customer request, here is a quick demonstration to show you how I handle Cladophora before attaching it to hardscape. Simple but effective. The Cladophora grows slowly so great for low maintenance. I am still waiting to see how it grows long term and will post an updated video in a few months time.
For everything you see in this video, and all other aquascaping supplies be sure to check out our website www.aquariumgar...
You can view this tank in person at our dedicated aquascaping showroom and shop based near Huntingdon, UK. Open Mon-Sat.
Cheers,
Dave
"Do you Clarice, hear the screaming of the moss balls?"
UnquietSlumber , classic...just watched Hannibal for the third time recently ....nice
The Marimo puts the clarifier in the basket.
so heartbreaking
If u glue is it okay to put immediately in tank with fish or us there a waiting period
super glue should be good after ~20 minutes
This tank looks great in real life!
How is it over time? Any update videos? I've read that if part of it (bottom)doesn't get light, it will start dying and rot. That's why people roll it to a new position after a while. I'm curious how it went because I want to try this method to on a log.
I agree with you
Did you get your answer? Did you use it?
The aquarium looks fantastic, do you think Marimo Moss would work well as a wall, I was looking into normal aquarium Moss which seems to spread across the tank, so I am thinking Marimo Moss would be my best option.
Yes it would work but Marino will slowly spread as well
I don’t want to glue it can I just flatten it out and lay it there ?
thank you so much for making this video
Awesome work. I will have to try this in one of my videos! Great scape!
Does Co2 increase the growth rate of those marimo moss balls? I read that they only 5mm in diameter per year.
Class video Dave 👍🏻
Cheers Peter!
the moss is not dead when you cut it?
Quockhanh Dang nope
You can put it in a mixer and shred it to pieces and it will still grow. That’s the magic of moss :D.
Please make a follow up video on how you maintain the moss ball long term
When you use them like this does the bottom side of the marimo die because it never gets light?
When in ball form only the outside surface of the ball receive light not the entire mass of the moss, like here, so no :)
Top vid thanks Dave or George I'm sure it's Dave gonna vist soon
.....Keep tanking
Yep it’s Dave 🙂 thanks and hope to see you soon!
Aquarium Gardens can't wait to vist.
I'm thinking of making it as a wall? Just spread and glue in the exterior. What do you think?
I’m scared that if I do this to my tank specifically they’ll just say f it and float up
Don't worry haha
I do the same and they are healthy and they are on the bottom all the time
Yea, I just had a huge moss ball split, 2 decient chunks and a ball.
Hi what glue you using?
Beautiful aquascape and tank. But isn't iwugame the hardest style to maintain? I mean the ballance of the water in the tank must be very accurate, else the algae will bloom. Such stocking of tank could cause easly the inballance of the tank. Can you make 1year and more update for this tank please?
Where did you get that filter from? It's amazing!
What type of glue?
When you use glue is it easy to remove it later if you wish to attach it else where?
Yes just peel off and use wire brush to remove old glue from rocks
Aquarium Gardens it will peel off that easy and it wont damage the roots?
Sir Fa lmao
beautiful boss
Stunning aquascape Dave.
Thanks Robert!
Brilliant video Dave, this aquascape has to be one of my favourite Iwagumis! Is the taller grass in the background also Eleocharis acicularis mini? Also what is the smaller grey stone/gravel positioned on the sand in front of the rocks please?
Thanks Glenda! The back grass is Eleocharis acicularis (taller than the mini). The small detail grey stones at the front are Baikal Gravel - on our website 😊👍
Thanks Dave!😊
Hiya. I used your method and I loved the effect. However some areas of the moss have turned brown. I can't take the rocks and bonsai tree out. What can I do? Is my morimo moss dying? Please help.
Not sure if you still need this but if it’s turning brown, that means that area is not getting enough light or that it’s just dirty. If it’s white, that means it’s getting too much light
@@itzgoliath2016 never too late to learn something new. So thank you. However it is too late for the tree. The moss died. I replaced it with a piece of wood and anubias. 🤷🤷🤷
Chapterhouse Dune aw really. What a shame. They’re typically so hardy. That’s pretty good though. I’m just getting into the hobby. A little over two weeks and still learning. About to scape my 10 gallon. I’m just waiting on all the plants and some panda Corydoras to come
Chapterhouse Dune so you know. Always eager to leane
Fun fact: moss balls like the dark and cold, once a week or once every 2 weeks I "charge" my moss balls in a bowl of dechlorinated water. And leave them in the fridge for a day or 2. Then put them back in the tank.
Do I dry the cladophore out, before gluing it to the rock?
Drying it out will kill it bruh
My mos ball has fallen apart... it started browning a bit... so I took off the brown spots by tugging and now I can’t get it back to ball form
keep taking it and rolling it in the palms of your hand when changing the water. it will pop back.
Assuming itl grow just the same if attached to wood? Sad to pull apart but at the same time I can’t get my hands on different/ unusual mosses here in Perth so this actually “could” be an alternative.
.....to other viewers, Marino moss balls take an extremely long time to grow.
Oh Dave cleaning my moss balls just rinse in squeeze method.
Squeezing them under running water to release any dirt before use, but once in the aquascape they won’t be removed.
can i use any kind of glue to stick it at the rock?
The glue made for aquariums is generally just regular old superglue renamed. If you get a superglue that is pure Cyanoacrylate it is perfectly safe.
Ty
That’s cool I like this Idk u could thought it would kill them
It can be die with that do ?
No. It's a lot of algae that sticks together in a ball shape. If they get separated, they'll still live :)
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That’s a really kool idea.. the glue I’m not so sure about? I hope it was aquarium safe glue.. 😧
Almost all standard cyanoacrylate based super glues are aquarium safe.
LOL... did I just watch a Marimo massacre?
When I unrolled mine it smelled so bad
Moss ball is really expensive. One for 10 dollars

WHAT....BUY FROM CHINA... $1
Nooooooo
This is so horrible to watch! Moss balls getting destroyed lmao
Van’s universe I agree😭😭😭
they're fine
Right? Why not use moss that grows. Marimo moss balls are actually a type of algae and take yearsssss to grow
clado ruined my life hahaha
