    More often than not, the cotton doesn't last long enough for the plant to attach. To be safe, use nylon instead.

    but ive always used cotton with no problems? it doesnt take java moss 3 months to attach to wood or rocks..

    with nylon (if u want to cut the thread off) will be a hassle in the long run

    update on the tank.

    removed alot of the hornwort and the small guppies, and they are in the 3ft now.

    got a few new plants from the LFS, got home and had a look in my Fish and Plant book, (as the ppl at the LFS dont know the names of the plants they sell) and see that some are on our BL, so i will say no more on them

    anyway,

    Update:

    today i did the PFP and replanted my plants.

    this tank will be my grow out tank, as my 3ft will be re-done in the next month or so with PFP, then most of the plants will go into the 3ft.

    will post a few pic now now
