Yeah the java moss will get out of control if you don't keep it in check. So every few weeks or so, I'll take a pair of scissors and cut large clumps off. Good thing, is that I'm starting a 10gal cory tank, so I can use the the extra moss to decorate that tank.

silversport, I don't know how the millenium 3000 power wet/dry filter works, so I can't comment. Generally wet/drys are not recommended for planted aquariums because afterall the purpose of a wet dry filter is for a high concentration of oxygen for the beneficial bacteria, this results in co2 loss.

The driftwood was sold as malaysian root and I got it at a lfs. Stained the water like crazy in the beginning, but it was in my 70gal for over a year, so it's not staining the 20gal that it's currently in.

thanks davros, yeah I hope the male learns how to do it correctly...:p
