Algae or moss

[Bigbernie]

I don't know which, but I would like to have a tank where every surface is covered in a lush carpet of this green stuff. Any recommendations ad to where I should begin?

And I don't want to turn my water green in the process.

100% moss. if you got a big carpet of algae it’s probably also gonna be on your rocks, wood, and other plants to have a good carpet going yk what i mean? i recommend christmas moss or java moss if you wanna go that route

Yeah. I saw an aquarium that had a thick layer of this greenish see through stuff all over everything. I thought it was very beautiful and would love to have mine setup similar.

Sorry for not knowing terms and what not. I have only ever had fake plant until recently. I have had aquariums on and off for the better part of 35 years though.

oh- i’ve don’t know much about see through algae
when i thought of a coat of algae, i was thinking more of spot algae (which isn’t that pretty)
if that’s what you wanna do with your aquarium- by all means do it! we’re all in this hobby for enjoyment right?
