My new plants came today i was a bit worried that they were boxed up all weekend but they arrived and were largely still green just got to get my co2 setup and upgrade my lighting to LED. Got my ferts and root tabs ready to go. Any comments on my tank

Oh no thats not good. Mine were dispatched friday morning, i opened them up at 4.30pm today. Only slight yellowing on my sagittaria platyphylla and my marsilea crenata made it pretty unscathed

Got to order some cut to size acrylic and remake the tank lid so i can get rid of the original lighting hood

Ah thts ok then. I bought them for their redness. I was disappointed wen they arrived. Pain in the backside to separate and plant as well!!

Just give it time and co2, I have plants doing things I never expected when I first planted changing colours, shooting out runners to halfway across the tank, some growing much faster than I expected some much less than I expected it's all part of the fun of planted tanks.
