Dam that grows fast. Did u put any on the branches ive seen some on you tube made to look like a forest under water
 
Wow awesome looking. I was thinking of doing a small freshwater tank. Where did u learn about how to not fill up the aquarium and to just let it grow and get the roots established? I would of already screwed up on that. I guess I better read more. :)

I mean you don't have to do it the way I did but some plants are better if you start it that way so they can get better rot system.. I did alot reading and research and joined a few forums to learn a lot

So after 5 weeks of doing a dry start to my 10g tank I finally filled it up. I am going to blast it with Co2 at the start to make sure the HC takes over and spreads good.. Also be adding some background plants to give it more depth.

Do you have a recommendation for a source of fissidens and other mosses?

I've had good luck with java moss, it grows like crazy even in my low tech tank. Petland in Bolingbrook carries it for around $6/cup.

Also this Sunday there is a convention in Hoffman estate the GCCA (Greater Chicago Cichlid Association) and there you can go and find many plants and another group I belong to is going to have a table set up with plants to buy and what not

This is an awesome project. I would go as far as to say that it is deserving of it's own discussion under "Fresh Water Reefs".
