New EpiWeb Drip Walls (combined order?)

[UmbraSprite]

All,

I had time to get the moss split out and calculate the pricing.

50g moss mix $12.99
300g moss mix $72.99

Shipping should run around $7-9 depending on weight.

For everyone who responded in this thread or via PM previously please PM me again to confirm.

As for the EpiWeb itself, I will have the new drip walls and regular sheets available soon. I still have branches and pots on the site. I received some samples of the shaping modules as well but haven't had time to take a look at them yet.

The EpiWeb substrate is also ready to go. I plan on doing a weight comparison vs Hydroton but haven't had the chance just yet...that said we are talking EpiWeb (sponge) vs clay pellets (stone).

1 gallon bag $9.99 (1 gallon = 4L if you want to compare with Hydroton)

If you are going to use heavy soils or stone above the EpiWeb allow for a bit extra as the substrate will compress a bit. I use just moss or ABG mix and get no compression. To determine approximately how much "Epi-strate" you need you can get a rough estimate by taking the formula used for Hydroton (from Josh's Frogs).

Inches deep / height of the tank (in inches) = Substrate ratio

Substrate ratio X number of gallons = Gallon bags of substrate needed

Gallons of substrate needed X 4 = Liters of substrate needed

The dartfrogdepot.com site is still being buggy with shipping and taxes so please PM me here for orders for the time being.

Thanks and everyone be sure to post photo's of how you put the EpiWeb to use!

Just confirming moss order...i think im going to go with 50g instead of a 100 though

The EpiWeb substrate is definately the way to go. Just doing a 10g horizontal you could tell the difference in weight right away when compared to hydroton.

I love the fact that you dont have to wash out epiweb like hydroton before use. And it stays in place alot better than hydroton too. So now its alot easier to create ponds and other terrain.

Hi y'all,

I'm very new to all of this but I love how this stuff looks. Just to clarify, The epiweb is a replacement for coco husk or other backgrounds? Then you spread the moss seeds on it and water...and your viv grows amazing and green like that? Is the drip wall set up just a replacement for hand misting? Could I hand mist and get the same results? Can you still place broms and other plants in the epiweb and have the moss grow around them like you could a cocohusk background?

Sorry for the noob question. Still learning here and this stuff looks great.

I was wondering the same thing you beat me to it lol

[t-o-l-o]

Lets see what I can answer:

Epiweb is a replacement for other backgrounds. And the moss mixture is spread on it and after a few weeks of watering (through the drip wall, and misting) plus some light...Bright Green Moss is growing in everywhere! (At least thats what the company claims).

The drip wall is'nt necessarily a replacement for misting, but it will keep any mounted plants (like broms) well watered!

Hope this helps!
