Re: Charity ExoTerra Viv
The next step is to stuff the sphagnum moss in the cracks of the background.
I do this thouroughly and methodically for a reason. I have found that if you pack the sphagnum in very tight, only an inch or so high at a time, that these compact "levels" recreate the conditions that sphagnum grows in, compacting as it grow upwards and then settles down in sphagnum bogs. If I then keep it wet and keep high quality light on it, I can usually get the sphagnum to come back to life.
Next I pick the wood carefully, as that determines the entire character of the tank. Here I used this rockin' two tone african hardwood that our store carries.
