zzzdanz-

I'm not familiar with "ATP"... what does that stand for? I'm assuming this is another forum? Sounds like there is some good info on there.

I actually just finally got around to creating my land setup (with the sphagnum moss). Its been tumbling around in my head for awhile, but I had to build up the steam to get working on it. So far it seems to be working well. I have a thick piece of Cottonwood bark separating the land from the water. I cut out a groove in the bark that fits atop the plexi-glass divider I used for separation. That way it covers the potentially sharp edge of the plexi-glass and helps keep the moss on the land. It actually sits above the level of the moss and water, so hopefully (we'll see) it will keep the two from wanting to wash over to the other side. I'm sure the turtles will manage to drag some moss over with them... that seems inevitable in any setup. This ought to minimize that though. I'll let you know if it turns out to be a waste of my time/effort.
