Peter h Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I just received some plants from Aquarium Co-Op, and I tried to time it out for when my tank would be ready for them, but I had some mishaps and won't be able to put the plants in for about another week. Is this setup OK for the interim (water is dechlorinated and lightly dosed with some liquid fertilizer)? Any other/better suggestions? Plants are just some Java Moss and Monte Carlo. Thanks!!

KBOzzie59 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Any special reason they are not fully submerged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter h Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 They are, just evaporation, I've topped it off since the photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varanidguy Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Five gallon bucket perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica. Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Got any clear rubbermaid tubs? Or a bucket? Submerged would be safer, less risk of drying out.I know I'd forget to top off the water on that, and I'd find some crispy moss at the end of the day. You could also put some plastic wrap over the top, to help with evaporation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceiora Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 This sounds so much like how my first planted tank plants were going. I lucked in last minute, but I was planning on using my water change bucket to hold everything. A large mixing bowl would would as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
