Do you seriously have to moisten it every single day? Best 3-4 times? This wouldn't be easy to look after for people who go to work/on business trips or vacation.

Martin Thomsen riccia line made by riccia moss, it will be disappeared by itself after 2 months, you will not see it anymore. but the fishing line made by nylon and stay there forever. some urly moss will grow on it. so thats why they use it.

Grag Eiliel

Its a fairly well packed ball of substrate mud dried out basically, it could fall apart if you mess with it while its over soaked and has not moss or root plants established enough to hold it together

I'm afraid your plants won't live long James! You made me laugh at 9:32 where you added the fertilizer. Did you ever notice the fertilizer "popped" out the water? Thanks for the post. Great info!

Prince Kehy
Prince Kehy - 10 years ago
I've done a wabi-kusa that gradually ended up submerged. I would keep it emersed long enough for roots to establish so it'll be less messy once submerged. Alternatively, you could start with it emersed and slowly raise the water level over a few weeks.

I have the same tank as hes using but shorter with a betta no filter for over a year check it out, asome vid, great info:)
dannybizal
dannybizal - 10 years ago
@My replies. I wouldn't use the tank shown in this video. Would certainly get a bigger tank, but wanted to use the same idea (maybe same plants also) and was wondering if putting more water in the tank would kill the plants? Also would the plants be able to keep the Betta alive without a Filter system in the tank? I want it to look as 'clean/natural' as possible, so no unnecessary equipment.
II Knucklez II
II Knucklez II - 10 years ago
what i'm going to do is do it with 50% water and place the substrate ball on top of some stones or drift wood

Awesome!! I'm going to do one of these with a Betta well but using a 12g long Mr. aqua tank and do the theme like reciprocity. Wis you guys would post a lot more videos of setup tanks!!!!

Would it be possible to do this with 80-90% of the plants submerged in water? I am thinking about doing this but keeping a single Betta in the tank also.
