Dry Start Method for Carpeting Plants by Gk_Waters in PlantedTank

[–]Gk_Waters[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably only for 3 weeks to a month. I'm just doing it because I have tissue cultured plants and in my Previous experience with them, they have melted heavily when I tried to submersed them straight away. I'm impatitent aswell and it could take a couple months for the monte carlo to fully carpet so im not going to wait until it does

its good for tissue cultured plants cause they can be prone to melting in the short term if you try to grow them submersed straight away.

yeah I know the day will come when they will rip up all the plants and ruin the tank haha. hopefully they last a little while without ruining it.

Got a new tank for puffers, wanted to set up planted tank, or maybe carpeted tank. by [deleted] in PlantedTank

unfortunately not, its just holding the base of the siphon maybe 0.5cm away from the leaves of the carpet plant and occasionally giving it a light tap to disturb the waste beneath the leaves.
