aquascaping my 90

[livefishguy124]

so i have a 90 gallon fish tank, i am going to put 40-50 cardnal tetras, 6 discus and 10-15 corry cats in the tank, and i want to have it heavily planted, how do i do it, i want to have heavy wood work and some rocks, it has natural sand right now and i want to have to back corners with a darker planting substrate, held in by rocks, any suggestions. i have a fluvial led light and will add or replace it with florescent or a good led.

any suggestions?

Are you going with CO2 injection and a high tech setup or low tech?

what would high tech mean? i may do it in the future for all my tanks but not at the moment, i will dose ferts, and root tabs.

That's a good question - high tech to me is the use of injected CO2. Over here that really means highly expensive to set up as high levels of CO2, mean higher powered lights can be used to drive growth. Ferts are pretty cheap - especially buying in powder form.

For your tank, I'd be looking into low light plants then.
