Acclimatizing plants

Post by taureandragon76 »

Whats the best way to acclimatize plants in a brackish tank? I have brackish plants in there like parrots feather and java but they are starting to melt away, just wondering what the best method of doing this is.

There's a sticky post either in this forum or the brackish puffer forum about plants in brackish water. Lots of discussion about it.

The general concencus seems to be the tank should be planted and settled in freshwater, then very, very slowly changed to brackish.
