Süsswassertang Wall

  • #1
Finally I have enough suswassertang to try and make a wall for my 110g. Its been pilling up in my tank and laying waste to carpet plants.
I pulled out enough to fill my babys bath now all I need to do is figure out what to use to make the wall. I'm thinking something with around 5mm to 10mm holes.
Any tips or hints

Forgot a pic of it all and there's still more in my tanks

My tanks 150cm long and 50cm high not including the substrate so they are a bit small. I might be able to get some plastic chicken wire I was thinking might do the trick and do 3 50x50cm pannels. But I think the holes are too big

I was thinking I could sew it between 2 sheets of plastic mesh so it could grow out the holes and between the 2. I'm not sure which way would be easier. If I tie it to a single piece will it still spread or only grow out.

When I was making mine for my 29, I just laid down a sheet the size of my back wall, then laid all the süsswassertang on it then put another screen on. Then just weaves string through the outer edges. It just grew straight through the wcreen

What size holes did your screen have or does it not matter.

My tanks the same but with pressurized co2 and a lower bioload. 2 months isn't bad its taken who knows how long to grow all this. I started with a srap bit that came with some shrimp
