He was able to grow a certain moss ball in his tank.
Wow, that moss has carpeted really nice. Definitely want to know what species that is.

I've heard that baltic sea moss balls are much more tolerant of salinity changes than Japanese variety, the ones that grow in Scotland are possibly similar.

His could be just a thick covering of algae. Similar to this maybe?

Is it your tank? How do you get these algae?

These are 2 of my tanks. I had gotten some rocks from Hawaii that were covered in this algae. I just kept transferring it to new tanks that I would start. I'll probably do some maintenance on my tanks over this weekend. I need to clean the glass and remove some of the chaeto as it's grown too much and I need to trim it back. These are maintenance free tanks but I still do need to do some.

This is from Jun 28th
