I have a pretty straightforward question - If my dry start Monte Carlo is kind of patchy (see pic) because some areas never took off, and its been about 2 months - would I benefit from just flooding the tank, and injecting high CO2 with adequate lighting to get the growth to fill in? Or....should I wait longer and keep it dry start, and if so, how long before just flooding it?

Thanks much!

It could have carpeted your tank twice in two months underwater. Monte carlo doesn't really need a dry start.
