Plant dilemma
Hi
I've been getting help here and actually ordered my equipment the other day to convert my tank to a planted tank. My dilemma is originally when I talked to the LFS the plant order was coming in Dec 7, which was good my other stuff was coming Dec 1 or 2. So I got them to bring in certain plants for me and then I get a call saying that they will be here Thursday which is before I will have the tank readied for them. What can I do with these plants in the meanwhile? Can I leave the way they come and just put them in the tank, I don't want to mess with them too much as there are a couple crypts in the bunch and they are touchier from what I read. The LFS also couldn't get my Java Fern this order, just the crypts and anubias will their be any troubles regarding that(ie disturbing the other plants later by planting the JF, the other two being slower growing). I just hope I don't have a pending disaster on my hands. -- JHudson Sure. Fine. Whatever. -Syzygy I have. I did. It's done. -Fight the Future Duct tape is like the Force, it has a dark side and a light side and it holds the universe together. I'm completely normal, just the rest of the world is nuts... There are lies, damn lies and statistics! |

Plant dilemma
you'll be fine, just put in what plants you DO have, and when the others
come in, you won't disturb anything by just planting more plants... Trust me, you'll be disturbing things enough after you 'think' you are done... you'll end up re-arranging them several times before you are 'really' done... done.... -- RedForeman ©® "JHudson" wrote in message news:ZLOwb.160054$jy.2586@clgrps13...

Plant dilemma
What about asking the LFS to hold onto them until you're ready?
You could even go ahead and pay for them if they're concerned for any reason... Isaac "JHudson" wrote in message news:ZLOwb.160054$jy.2586@clgrps13...

Plant dilemma
The LFS also couldn't get my Java Fern this order
I have tons of Java if you need some. I hate to toss them out. Read the post above here "Almost free ferns" -- Kudzu *\\ The man that always tells the truth never has to remember what he said |
