New Tank And New Plants

[paulypaul182]

Hey all,

Im having a new tank delivered tomorrow. Unfortunatly, I could only get my stockist to deliver my plants today. Ive got Vallis, Straight (Vallisneria Spiralis) x 4
Water Wisteria (Hygrophila difformis) x 3
Telanthera lilacina x 2

Obviuosly they are still in the bag. What shall I do with them till I get them into the tank? Theyve been in the bag for about 3 hours with no water. The bag is tied up but with no oxygen in.

put them in a bucket full of water, do you have a friend with some tank water, if not just tap water should be ok for a day or two, if you could run an air pump and put a stone in the bucket that would be perfect

yep in a bucket with some tap water conditioner, and then leave the bucket in the sun light some where....

bucket is fine but dont put an airpump in as it drives of any CO2.
