Phoenix Moss (Fissidens fontanus) is a good alternative to star moss from what I've heard, slow growing but easy to care for

One thing I would recommend is maybe get more rooted plants in there. Take advantage of the dirted benefits!

Where did you get your hairgrass? I need to get a bunch soon for the shrimp tank I'm setting up. Hmmmmm, I might have some green temple good to go by the time the auction comes

Re: 40G Planted Walstad Incoming...
omg auction. SEE YOU GUYS THERE!!
BillHN, be careful, that miracle grow garden soil stuff sounds like it has lots of fertilizers in it @_@... I'd still stick with miracle grow's organic potting mix. Just to be safe
I think I accidentally killed off my subwassertang that pbmax gave me . . . I tied it onto a rock, and kept it in a really shallow tupperware thing, filled it up with water, and left it alone for a couple days... I forgot to replenish the water, and so the subwassertang was left to dry out for... who knows how long.
I placed the rock with the subwassertang in my 20 gallon tank, hoping that it would rejuvinate, but I think I got to it too late. SAD.

Like Poke said
Walstad's "official" directions are to go for Miracle Gro Organic Choice potting mix as the others have too many nutrients. That isn't potting soil regardless - it's "garden soil" which is pretty much top soil. I'm going to try using some miracle gro organic choice garden soil in an emersed grow container, but I wouldn't submerge the stuff - too many nutrients, I think.

Re: 40G Planted Walstad Incoming...
@Matt I saw some last weekend
@Everyone
I was just trying to say that they actually have miracle gro organic potting soil o.o
I just thought we all agreed that there was no such thing xD, I just thought to revive that dead topic, once I saw this on one of my daily browsing sites.
@ Angelo, omg sorry about the subwassertang!
That stuff is really touchy (well, it keeps on slipping off my lines and floats all around) I'm thinking of putting it in a tank where I won't touch it much, but meh. I'll see how it'll do on the 10G.
I spent some bucks getting that stuff from an online dealer, wasn't cheap neither ]:
