yep that's what I saw, it's been in the tank for 2 weeks recovering, new leaves are growing about 1" / week, the old leaves are very green again ...

I added a pipe for the Chinese Algae eater to hide in as needed, he's about 4" long, the first day he was getting bullied pretty badly, no damage I can see, he's all over the tank now though, about 25 % of the algae in the tank is also gone.

I think I missed a couple of weeks, however here's an update

the clump of moss furthest to the left on the bottom of the tank is from Exhumed, the one next to it, is the strand I started off with, I think I might have sent some of the moss into shock while sewing the net, as it's just now starting to grow. Some is about 0.25" in length sticking through it.

I think if I need to make a new backdrop I'll probably end up using a thicker, latch hook type mesh. the plastic screen door is very tight, but it might be too restrictive for the moss.

If you look closely you can also see rocks in the sand, they are actually freshwater clams that a friend was kind enough to give me.
