I'd like to get opinions on this method of adapting plants to life underwater after a dry start.
What are your experiences with plants adapting after dry start method?
Specifically with Dwarf Hairgrass (acicularis eleocharis sp. mini), anubias, and Ludwigia Mini Super Red. Or otherwise, has anyone tried this method?
I have had quite a successful dry start going for 10 weeks now, with the above plants. I'm beginning to see signs of mold so I would like to flood the tank soon. However, after all this time and effort, I want to ensure that the carpet survives. I had planned to setup DIY CO2 to give the plants the best possible chance of survival. However, it is a lot of hassle and I wonder if it is necessary. Would liquid carbon (Excel, Glutaraldehyde, EasyCarbo etc.) be sufficient? You can view the journal in my signature.
Thanks
