Sorry for the bombardment of questions. I’m just binge researching.
I was just visiting biodude and they have this moss
What one would you go with and what quantity?
Also what kind of sand do you recommend?thanks

 

[Silver dragons]

The Coco fiber is an excellent choice, I've actually bought from them before. The link to the moss is just a link to a bunch of different mosses. which one were you wanting in particular?

Hello again, i like the Live Pillow Moss best

 

[Silver dragons]

You can use pillow Moss but it is a little difficult to keep alive in my experience. Also if you get this you still need to get sphagnum moss to mix into the substrate for the springtails or isopods to eat.

If not pillow moss what moss would you go with? I really like the ”neon” green of the pillow moss.

Concerning the sphagnum moss how much sphagnum for a ten pound bag of Coco. Thanks much

 

[Silver dragons]

Any type of live moss is going to be difficult to care for and keep alive in my experience, especially since you seem to be new. Sphagnum moss you can just add a bag and mix it in it doesn't have to be SUPER accurate or anything it's just there to have food for the springtails or isopods.

Funny thing, I've actually bought from them too, didn't even know that they were still around. They're even better than the last one so if you can, get this one.

 

[dragonscales]

Thanks much.

Hello again, even though I’m going with a biotank should I still use tiles at the bottom of the tank.thanks much.

 

[Silver dragons]

You can if you want but it is not necessary.

Hi, there’s all different types of Sphagnum moss. How about this kind? Should I go with 4,8,12 qt. for a 4x2x2 terrarium?thanks so much

You can go with that if so I would get 12qt but that is the "fancy" moss. If you would like something cheaper I would go with Exo Terra forest plume Moss.

Hey Silver dragons, you there?
