Go to the local knitting store.....Purchase a plastic "knitting" screen...Place the thing along the back glass...Tie off some moss balls to it.....The moss will spread throughout the screen and form a moss wall....

Marimo balls are very interesting. They are colonial organisms that can alter their bouyancy to rise or fall in order to get enough light. Loaches, corydoras, and dwarf shrimp LOVE to use them as playgrounds. When a colony reaches a size larger than an adult fist, they tend to split.

Now wouldn't that be fun. A 55 with a few dozen or so moss balls, just floating up and down.
