I'm getting ready to re-scape my 30 gal. tank. I've got some Valliseneria, Pearl Weed, and Hornwort in it. I'm getting a bunch of new plants--dwarf hairgrass, monte carlo, water wisteria, java moss--to add.
In order to redo the tank, I was planning on putting the plants in buckets of water (from the tank) and just putting the light overtop of the buckets while I empty the tank, take out the substrate, and do all my new scaping. It's going to take me a few days to get all the stuff out of the tank and do the new hardscape before I can replant.
Question is, how long can I leave the plants in buckets of water before they start to die off?
