It sucks to hear that
. Being a planted tank noob, I was hoping I could have the easy way out with establishing my carpeting plant before flooding the tank. In any case, I'll still give it another month. I'm in no rush to submerge the plants yet. Thanks for the info.
PS- I like your avatar. I'm a huge Betta fan myself. In fact, this 10G tank is going to be for my sorority of betta girls
