Well, here we go...100 gallons. Walk me through it?!

Okay. I found non toxic acrylic paint. Got the three panels 90% done...should I use peat moss or sphagnum moss to "decorate" it? Does it go on before or after the final Krylon coat? I assume after. What do I put it on there with...hot glue? I have no idea
Pictures will come tomorrow

You could get some live sheet moss to decorate the back wall with. Moss can be pinned to the background using floral wire, zip ties, hot glue, super glue, epoxy, tooth picks ... anything really as long as when it dries it is non toxic. If you are using live moss than the mounting method could be done in a way so it can be removed in a few months when the moss has attached itself to the background.

Oh, hmm...to use live moss or not to use live moss? That's going to be a hard decision. Peat or Sphagnum would be cheaper but may look too dead

Would I be able to find sheet moss at a local store or would I most likely need to special order it?

Check your local nursery for it.

I called all my local nurseries between classes and one has sheet moss, but not LIVE sheet moss. I'm going to stop by and look at it since it's on my way home, we'll see if I like it enough to use it...also depends on how expensive it is!

[BCollie]

Oh, quick question before my next class starts...are there any plants that could be stuck to the background? NOT mosses, but leafy(fine or thick leaves, doesn't matter) plants? If this is possible what plants would be best for it?

[Lija]

That would be Broms.

do you wanna check josh frogs, neherp, etc and get smth shipped.... Moss, Broms, etc
