Hey everyone, first post but I have been lurking for a good 2 months now and I love the site. I kinda screwed up on my ordering. I ordered 2 Malaysian driftwood pieces a week ago and it looks like it'll come in after the plants arrive (1-4 days). Tracking is unavailable so they just gave me a huge window. The plants that are coming in are:
Java Fern 5
Moss Ball 1
Micro Sword (2)
Anubias Nana (2)
Undulata Cryptocoryne (2)
Water Sprite (2)
Anacharis (3)
Cabomba (2)
I was planning to have most of the moss and java ferns attached to the driftwood but since its coming in I may or may not have a problem. So with that all said that leads me to my question
What do I do if the driftwood arrives 1-4 days after the plants are here? I am very new and this is my first attempt at a planted tank. I've read that java fern and moss don't attach well to sand so I was going to use the driftwood and maybe some small rocks, but again I don't know.
Current tank:
60 gal tank (48"x13"x24")
substrate : sand
light : 108watt T5 HO
filter : AquaClear 110
heat : Aqueon 200watt
There is no CO2 system at the moment. I was researching maybe the liquid stuff but again I haven't done enough research to know whether or not Ill need it. I was going for a lot of low light plants so that I wouldn't really need to CO2 or fertilize, but I'm open to suggestions.
I haven't started cycling the tank either at the current moment, but I don't think that is a factor. I was going to start once the tank was fully planted.
