I got a new 29 gallon tank for the holidays, and I think I have decided to try my hand at a freshwater planted tank.
I am a total noob with planted tanks so any input would be most appreciated.
I think I want to do a moderately planted tank with driftwood, angels, or German Blue Rams.
I currently have the tank and heater. What is the best substrate to use for planted tanks? I was thinking either play sand, or eco-complete. Pros and cons to both?
Also need help with lighting. I am thinking low to med light plants, what is the best type of lighting to go with?
and......plants. Waht are the best plants to go with for a new setup?
Anything else I need to know about plants? Fertilizers, etc.......
I plan to show my build of this tank once I get a final idea of what I am doing.
