Aquarium Advice Activist
ok, so my plants are ordered, tank is 55 gal low light w/eco complete with no livestock yet. Is it just a matter of planting the roots up to the crown in the substrate? I read somewhere about soaking the plants in 10% potasium permanganate? I bought them all from aquariumplants.com. I'm basically looking for advice on what to do after I open the box...I'm having trouble finding a how to on this step of the planted tank. Any tips on any of these individual plants?
