Hi guys, newbie plant person here. I have a 55 gallon tank and have started adding plants that I wish to grow. (Aqueon T5 light) I have a sand substrate and nothing more. I have 2 Anubias, 3-4 Anacharis, 2 Jungle Val, 1 White ribbon and a few low ground plants i can't remember their names. I really want to start growing dwarf baby tears and carpeting certain areas of my tank. I found 4 nice small tears at my LFS, and picked them up. They are in little plastic pots with mud. I also picked up some Flourish fertilizer and Flourish Excel for C02 additive. So here are my questions.
1) Should I just remove the baby tears from their pots, and insert them into the sand? Will they cover the sand over time?
2) I am running my light for 12 hours a day. Is this too much?
3) Are the Flourish supplements that I have purchased adequate enough to help these plants thrive?
Thanks alot for any help!
