Managed to save everything and everyone and move them into my 10 gallon, I didnt put rock or soil down was panicking. Can i leave my plants out of soil or rock for a few days? There is sword, and some other ones I dont know of but will they be okay? To add rock, can I reuse the one in old tank and if so do I half to moce everything back out and put it down or can I just slowly add it in tank?

I don’t have much answers I’m just sorry that happened do you know what caused it to exploded?
Aw man I’m sorry this happened. Was there a crack? I wouldn’t reuse the rock. It may have shards of glass inside.
Wow force ! 🫂
Your plants need to be in water.
Just get a bucket to keep them in until you can get them into a tank.
And rinse the rock really well so there’s no leftover glass shards..
The plants will be fine so long as they are submerged in water. Give light and nutrients if you can.
As for the rock…. We talking about actual stones? Or the substrate? Large decorative stones should be reusable with a good rinse, but you’re probably going to have to change the substrate. There isn’t any good way to separate the glass shards… Sorry bud…
Wear thick gloves please.
Reintroducing the plants and animals back to a new tank, you should try to cycle as much as possible. Easier said than done in this situation… if you must do all at the same time try to invest in quality substrate and check parameters frequently. 25% water change weekly.
