Do You Add Plants Smae Day You Setup New Tank?

[connorsbala]

When cycling a tank do you add the plants as soon as you add the gravel and dechlorinated water and filter and heater?

Personally i dont, i wait till there is something in the tank to feed the plants. Unless that is you are going to add ferts.

Personally i do add it at the same time. It is an artificial plant.

it's best not to add plants when the tank is cycling because the plants use up the ammonia that you want the bacteria to use

so add plants when cycled,before fish are added?

 

[stackem evs]

So if setting up a new tank, how long after adding the water, before putting the first real plants in?

Thanks

With my first tank, I cycled with fish (I didn't know better). I used plastic plants when cycling and then added plants later on....
