- How I trim moss in my planted tank nature aquarium aquascapes. Aquascaping with moss is a great way to make the aquascape look mature but it can be challenging to maintain. Maintenance is simple using this technique, which minimised the risk of any moss floating away.
Let me know in the comments if you have any aquarium moss maintenance trimming techniques!
Keep on 'scaping,

Moss is so beautiful in an aquarium when it is lush, green, healthy, and trimmed nicely. Your tanks are so beautiful.
Sure you know but you can put your finger over the end of the hose to stop the siphon when there is nothing to suck up,I do it when I change water in my tank, stir the bottom up a bit to get the muck free and then take my finger off the end to siphon it up.
Great tip!
Thanks for the tip. I let it float to the bottom and use a net to take out the trimmed parts but your idea looks better.
Thanks 😊
thanks for this vid! very helpful, my mosses are needing this for a while..
Awesome video and great tip!! Love the look of that tank! Thanks for sharing!
That’s a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing George!
Another great tip. Thanks, George.
That's inspired! I've always been a bit slack on trimming my moss, because it always ended up going everywhere, and then lodging and growing where it shouldn't. I'm definitely going to be trying this out; thanks George!
Great to hear, Sarah, Thanks 🙏
Thank you for the tip !
Beautiful tank!
Great tip! Thanks.👍
Hi George. Yup I keep moss 7-8 different types right now and always looking for more. The java moss I just rip it out but the other moss I trim and attach to plastic sheeting and cultivate for the next project
Great video.. Looking forward for every new post or live. You are one of the reason i`m starting with aquascaping!! thank you
Great to hear! 👍
Cool and simple idea, and very effective! Great tip, George!
Cheers Jürgen! 👍
Interesing. Very nice video.
Thank you George, i appreciate
I love chaotic moss I only trim it when it starts to cast shade over other plants. I then collect the clumps i trim and add it to a different place or tank 😊
Hi George I've been watching your videos for some time now. I really liked this tip as I was always struggling with the moss in my planted aquarium. Keep up the great work, you're an inspiration.
Thanks Lindsay 👍
You're welcome George. If you get a chance do check out the short video of my tank that I've put up. I'd love to know what you think.
Will do 👍
That hose is an excellent idea!
I'm really not so great at trimming plants, but with the moss I don't mind that at all, because more moss remains for the shrimp to dwell in, and the way it's placed on my red moor, it looks more and more like a willow tree as time passes. Same reason why I never remove algae from wood, it just looks like a more natural, nicely dated miniature tree trunk.
Great little gadget.
Thanks.
Hello george i'm new subscriber in your channel i'm french beautiful aquarium i love this ! ;)
So smart! Great video
Thanks Jackson 👍
Another really useful Tip. Thanks I noticed that you have some smaller twigs and sticks in the aquas cape which do'n't look shop bought. Are these 'wild collected? if so, which types of wood are good and how do you prepare them.could this be an idea for longer techniques video. cheers. Keep on scaping.! 'wet sleeves will always dry out'
Great idea for a video! Thanks 👍
thanks sir
had such a beautiful growth of it, looked like the canopy of a tree, but i trimmed it too short and it never came back right :( with i had thought of this, a very useful technique!
Nice aquascape tank
hi,how long can you turn off the filter for? because there are good bacteria in the canister.
Two good questions what is the set up you have on that hose you’re using. Also why does your tank not have plastic trim on top and bottom is it a custom tank. Other than there’s two questions this is an amazing video
Nice video.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks 🙏
👍
George, I would love to see pearl gouramis in planted aquariums! Peaceful, graceful, long lived, elegant! A stunning fish for any aquarium! I enjoy your videos so much!! Dennis.
Dennis, you'll love George's recent video "Aquascaper 1200 - I love my new fish!!" here: czcams.com/video/mlszOJe-Z7A/video.html
Thanks Julian 👍
Greetz from Germany. I like your Videos a lot, but would it be possible to make a colaboration with James Findley? You´re both from the UK, so it would be great to see you both creating an epic scape.......
Still rocking the contact lenses man
Good to see you brotha
Another banger of a video
Cheers 👍
George Farmer no problem
Hey I had huge bunch of moss on the driftwood which was growing so well that I have to trim them but after 2 months it slowly got melted.... Don't know y
Plz help me.
Do you just have a filter sock on the end of the hose then put the water back into the tank when you are done.
No, I replace with fresh water. Any excuse for a water change!
What kind of brightness & color settings are you using for your A360WE's?
50%, 50%
Hi, can I ask? What is better normaly diffuser or external atomizer? Thank's for ansver.
I prefer in-tank diffuser for smaller aquariums, in-line external for larger (>30 gal).
what type of the moss ?
Great tip and good job. Can anyone tell me what type of moss it is?
Xmas moss
Ada 120p?
Can I ask how much gallons is in that tank and the thickness of the glass? :D
What declhorinator do you use George?
Seachem Prime
Hi George, any tips on moss types? Nice vid. Cheers
Most moss is easy. Prefers cooler water and good circulation. Shrimp are helpful to keep it clean. 👍
George Farmer thanks 👍
What moss where you cutting here?and why do you need the tube next to the scissors?
Xmas moss. The hose is sucking out the moss straight after trimming
George Farmer oh ok pretty smart!!!and I'm getting Christmas moss
I hear everyone saying java moss is the easiest plant in aquarium hobby, so i got my self some, but its been more then a month now, not a single extra branches from the moss i put in my aquarium, on the other hand, its all turned brown, i have shrimp in which clean it, but the color is turned to brown( was bright green first when i bought), water parameters are fine, 40 watts led lights ( 8-10 hours a day ), 20 gallon tank, enough flow in the tank, and the temperature is 33-34 degree Celsius ( its summer heat ), so is it because of the temperature my moss is dying ? or could it be something else ?
Probably the high temperatures is causing issues. Most moss prefers cooler water. I run my tanks 22-24C
George Farmer ok thanks, also, do you know what this bugs are in my Aquarium, files.fm/u/dsmpg8cq
And are they harmful ?
Hi George can you make a video about cyanabacteria,how it’s caused and how to destroy it,thanks...
Nice idea!
George Farmer thanks,not much videos about it..😊
Hey George, since you are into hood-less and rim-less tank, have you ever experienced any of your fish jumped out the tank to its untimely death? My harlequin rasbora and few of my leopard danios jumped out. Sad. Any idea to deter this?
Floating plant help 👍
Nice BBA on that Wood George, how to fight it?
Clean off with wire brush and do water change.
Hey George how do you get rid of algea on moss? If i try to remove it I always end up pulling some moss with it
Loads of Amano Shrimp xD
A fork is your best friend...
Really only works with string algae though.
trim it
Its good to be first.
Great way of trimming in a large tank but I'm afraid my Nano would be emptied before I'd trimmed even a small section.😂.
Why trim something so beautifully grown?
The more you trim, the denser it grows. Like any plant, if you don't prune it gets leggy and sparse in certain areas.
@@denisepollitt1021 thank you... Since 3wks ago when I posted this, my Bonsai tree with Weeping Moss has grown thick and much bigger and I need to indeed trim it soon..
I do it with my fingers.
just pinch the tips and trow them away
Great tip 👍
I let the java moss unattended and they took over my entire drift wood
I will put my fish landing under the branch full of moss who should be trim and 95% is going to the net / bag
dude why u wear pink t shirt. pls change the color thanks hha
