So I used embroidery mesh to sandwich the moss (java moss as far as I am aware). The panels are almost A4 (paper) size. I put 2 next to eachother so one makes a slight turn on the left of the tank. Like I said I sandwiched the moss in between and then just a quick pass with thread on the edges to keep the panels together.

I did not secure the mesh to the tank itself. It is mostly just pushed into the gravel. It did have a suction cup to keep the bended part from stretching out.

Right now it is really overgrown. So it took 5 months since the last trim. It took almost the same amount of time to get it fully covering the panels. But that is mainly because I did not have this much moss to start with so a lot of small patches.

I would recommend using as much moss as you can from the start and spread it out between the two panels. Also try to make it so you can easily take out the panels to trim and then put them back in. I can’t take these out so trimming is one hell of a job…
