Well using a faucet takes care of the temperature problem and it's ok if your doing it in a big tank and maybe using water conditioner but chase is using a hose with no water conditioner in a 15 gallon planted.

Wow, even on my 90 i use a 5 gal bucket and use my bath tub to fill it and mix prime, sucks when doing 50% water changes!

But to each his own, we all have differ preferences and no one should be judged!!!

I never really gave much thought on using a hose, besides making sure its clean and doesn't have any old water in it. Since there was nothing in the tank, I didn't worry about temp but always use water conditioner. Won't do anything without it.

I believe moss people use Java moss or Christmas moss for tree like structures in their tank. I personally love the way Flame moss looks attached to a piece of mopani wood. Flame moss has that "flame" look and spreads out like it. Christmas moss looks like little christmas trees while Java is much thicker. You can also use Marimo moss balls, which are round green algae balls. They're pretty cool.
 
In addition to the java/christmas moss idea, flame moss could work as well. I have some myself in a couple of my planted tanks and it looks great.
 
Again, you are making an assumption. I use water conditioner, and I started using the faucet like almost a month ago. Take it down a notch.

Haha sigh. Mosses?

Chase it was 2 weeks ago that nick told you not too. Dude your ignorance is to much for me to handle I'm done arguing with you about it. Do what you want with your tank I could really care less what happens.

Lol, do you guys know each other cause this is funny stuff....... No insults intended. I live on lond island and the water in the hose is the same as the water in the faucet, i guess you guys have a resivor. I never used a hose personally but were i live it may be better...old houses old pipes, less piping to travel thru. Ive noticed that hot water tends to have more minerals and metals than cold, hot water heater sits gathering sediment, although it may not be an issue if you let the water run. I personnaly use cold water only from the faucet via python hose, fill a 40gallon bin, add prime, (recently stopped using salt, but i wanna get son seachem sa cichlid salt), plug in my extra tank heater and let the water circulate w/pump for 24 hours, then using the python i just plug it onto the circulating pump and pump it into my tank.

I have a smaller planted tank with java and xmas moss, the java seems to grow faster and climb more while the xmas slower growing tends to grow outward and hang more, but both shoud work good. These mosses tend to break off small pieces and clog my the filter inlet once they get growing good.

Like I said caleb. Take it down a notch. You make fish keeping seem like something that only super experianced people can say anything about on these forums.

I might try some christmas moss. I'll probably end up buying a co2 system when i get back to my job so I'll be able to grow all kinds of plants.

My planted tank is very low tech, no co2, low tech lighting, just a 30gal I use for a grow out tank.
Anubius, phillipeno java fern, java fern, micro java, 2 other types of java cant remember the names, few diff mosses and couple of swords
