Is this ok or can it only be done before a tank is filled?
Depends on the seeds I would guess - what are you trying to grow? I've grown a lot of seeded plants outside of the aquarium (HUGE waste of time) Never tried in the aquarium. I don't know if you have the right kind of substrate to actually get a plant to grow. You could trying doing it using clay or soil in water OUTSIDE your aquarium then you don't have to worry about the fish eating the seeds. Also you'll have to plant the seeds pretty deep to avoid them floating out when you clean the tank. It could take month's to get a decent sized plant going. Perhaps just get cuttings from a friend or buy the plants?
We need to know, seeds of what exactly?
I was thinking it may be an easy way to get a carpeting plant to grow, not sure what yet. My current substrate is sand over soil, but I will be replacing that with Volcanic Substrate Soil with sand around it(not on top).
Maybe I could just add some seed to the soil and add it with a funnel?
My lighting is 1.5 Watts Per Gallon if that helps.
