Cause I like the idea of tieing java moss to a piece of cork. And I know styrofoam floats! I tried to let java moss float around freely in the tank, but after a few hours it sticks to the intake valve of filter!! Any suggestions truly appreciated!

Styrofoam is terrible and the Moss won't attach to it. I just made a Moss Cork float and it was really easy. I made a pictorial for this site. Check it out! It's at a site called fishless cycling (type the two words without a space and add .com) under the "Other" section, within that, there is a "Plants" section. The thread is called Taiwan Moss Floating Structure. It is really easy to figure out. Styrofoam will disintegrate and leave little white pieces of crap floating through the tank.

Sorry for the directions, but Y!A won't let me post links! :' (
I think I can email you the link... I'll try. But I can't because you don't allow it! You'll just have to follow the directions I gave you...

Hi, I remember answering your question about java moss placement a while back and I had suggested the cork method. Do you remember? I'm only here for revenge because you didn't give me best answer on that one!!! :( HA! HA! HA! Just kidding :)
Really though, don't use styrophome, a cork is really best if you can get one. You don't drink wine? I always have a stash of corks in a drawer for some reason, but then I do drink wine. Well it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a cork I wouldn't think.
How did your moss mats turn out, or did you make them? That was a good suggestion too, made by the one who DID get best answer on that other question. HA! I might actually try that myself if it works well.
*Hey NoSoup: Why does answers not let you use links? I can post links last I checked. Is this new for everyone or are you just special?

I heard that styrofoam, (especially when heated) will deteriorate and cause cellular damage in humans. that's why people don't use styrofoam cups anymore. If it's dangerous for humans, it should be dangerous for fishes (generally speaking).

the styrofoam might disentegrate and get all over the tank/in the filter
