Yippppeeeee

i got my PFP stuff, and i will be doing the whole thing in the morning, man i cant wait!!!!!!!

 

@ves Remember I told you to soak the PFP + Chemicult for 24 hours before putting it into the tank. That was the PFP will soak up as much of the chemicult as possible.

 

Yip, i did that about @ 17:00 today, wow one brick can swell huh,

 

one think i want to know is, when its time to plant, how do i do this?

do i plant the plants in the PFP, then cap with gravel? or do i Cap it first?

i think the first way?

 

I would, first finish the pfp and capping - add some water .. then you plant - take care to not disturb the pfp - with time the roots will go past the capping and into the PFP, depending on the current root size.

Thanks Ferdie

This will only work for the "planted" plants, what about my Moss? will i need to give them Fertz?

 

Ah... so now you are getting into water column vs root fertilization - both are needed - but for different nutrients.
For now a WC should be good enough for your Moss.

It's a 2foot tank... pfp will be perfect for rooted plants. WC will be fine to add nutrients for moss... they not as high demanding
