    Beautiful shop! Love how great the plants looked. Too many stores by me have dead plants all over their tanks. Doesn't make me want to purchase thats for sure

    Thanks so much for your help!! I was really so sad to tie them with some other. This is great.

    Attach to the wood and immediately spray with water for nearly instant set.

    Can the wood be wet or does it need to be dry?

    Great information, but i have 3 anubias broad leaf coming and have cracks/crevices/holes in some driftwood that i was just going to wedge in there...no glue or anything. I figured the roots would grow in to the wood...your thoughts? I do have the glue because im also gluing 3 java ferns to stones when they come in, but if like your thoughts...thank you

    How long should the light on for anubias nana petite?

    Do you use the gel because the plant is wet? Also, I used clear drying gorilla glue to glue some flame java moss to a piecevof driftwood and it dried white and it was a gooey mess. Thank goodness it flourished and it's overgrown the white. I now want to do anubias and more java moss, unless you can recommend a moss that's a better filter than java, but on these it's in spots that it would show that white, and I don't want to see that white. Does this super glue gel dry white?

    Super glue doesn't contaminate the tank? Never would have thought you could do this!

    I did mine today and it died. I didn't use the correct glue. It doesn't say cyanoacrylate. I had it for almost 3 months.

    Can you put the Nubias plant in the gravel? Or it has to be on a wood? Curious because I bought 2 plants of Nubias for my 10 gallon tank 🤔

      No. If you bury the roots/rhizome it'll die.

      You can bury it in the gravel, just do not cover the rhizome. The roots will be safe if planted because I’ve had two planted in the substrate with the rhizomes above the substrate and they are doing just fine.

    How long do you have to wait before you put it back into the water in your tank after you glue it to the wood or rock? Will it kill your plant if you leave it out of the water too long?

      @rockbeachaquatics2481  4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      It would take a while to kill the plant. Just wait until its dry. Only take about ten minutes. Plant will be totally safe. Have fun!

      Hi there! Yes it does. Glue it to the rhizome. Everything will grow off of that. Thanks for watching!

    How many hours of light does anubias need

    • @rockbeachaquatics2481
      @rockbeachaquatics2481  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Anubias has one of the lowest light requirements for a plant. I always suggest 8 hours a day. That can depend on the type of light you are using. But its a good starting point.

      @rockbeachaquatics2481  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes it will and yes it does dry white. So use sparingly of you don't want it to be seen. The moss will grow pretty heavy so honestly long term you won't see the white.

      @stoneysscapes7544 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's like a piece of acrylic , and after it gets wet it will be safe and make sure it's Cyanoacrylate and I am sure it's safe and I think most people will use way more than necessary, hold it down 10 - 30 seconds and either wrap up w paper towels or in water asap
