Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	We just moved and I have my plants just floating in the tanks they'll eventually be planted in. How long can I leave them unplanted without problems? Pretty basic plants: Amazon swords, crypts, anubias, dwarf sags, temples, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
