Well Ive added x-mas moss and java moss to my tank with no problem then added java fern too on a piece of driftwood all i can say is i lucked out with my turtles both of whom are about 7" in diameter so i guess they are full grown. I do plan to do a planted tank just for those and a few others i like that are hard to kill plants but my question to all here is this I know where not suposed to sell stuff on here ( this site) but i just wanted to know if anyone had or has aquarium plants they wanna get rid of I mean it when i say get rid of like dont want at all, willing to just pass on them please try n keep me in mind? I hope this doesnt go against the rules of the site if so please let me know?

You can PM me. I'm always throwing away trimmings from my planted tank. I'd be happy to send them your way.... just have to figure out how to ship them. :D

I have a mason jar full of java moss I'd be more than happy to send your way. Shipping maybe difficult now due to the cold here in the midwest.

Not to thread jack, but I have a quick question. while im waiting to set up my 135 I acquired a 40 gallon breeder with a pine stand for free and so I'm working on planting it and transferring my little fish friends from my 5 gallon and developing a community tank (neons, corys, goldie, red tail shark, gouramis, and eventually a pair of blue rams). My question is how much of the Eco complete substrate should I get for the 40 gallon? each bag is 20 pounds i was thinking id only need two but i could be off lol.

All depends on how thick u want the bottom to be. It should say on tha bag what it will cover and the thickness too.
So like 2sq ft at 2" thick. Is what it should say for a forty IMHO I would get 3-4 bags but that is just a guess.
