I'm in the process of making a moss wall. It doesn't really matter to me what kind of moss I use. Anyway, at my LFS, moss is like $7 for a 2"x2" patch. I need this moss to cover about 24"x13.5" of tank. Where could I get some cheap moss for this? I don't want to spend like $50, you know. Thanks for the help.

I used a type 7 mesh from Jo Ann fabrics (very cheap) and I took java moss and evenly spread it in between 2 pieces of the mesh. I tied it together with twist ties and rubberbands and suctioned it to the wall. Make sure that they fish can't get stuck behind or in between the wall.

Ebay and moss grows very slow so it'll take a few months to get a wall. Once it starts it really grows though. Put an ad on craigslist for moss too. Some people trash theirs as part of maintenece
