CKetchum Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hello fellow fish keepers and all things plants! I am a new aquatic plant keeper. My plants are due to arrive tomorrow after a 5 day journey from Co-op to SC. They are all low-light beginner plants. I got a variety to see what does best for me or rather what I do best for them. Question: Do I get them planted (new tank) with their root tabs--for the root feeders (gravel substrate) and start them on light and easy green liquid or wait a day or two for them to recover from their "shock"? I don't think they are going to use nutrients right away as they recover. Wait a day or two for adjustment to water parameters? or go ahead and get some fert on them? I am going to start with 8 hours of light/day. Thank you!

Odd Duck Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 It won’t hurt anything to wait a few days (or even a few weeks) if it better fits your schedule, but there’s no need to wait a few days. The sooner they are planted, the sooner they are rooting or adapting to your tank conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
