[Yellow Eye Tang]

yes, your right I do have just straight gravel as a substrate. If I was to REALLY want a successful planted tank will I need to totally redo this thing with a whole new substrate... and then work the ferts? I was a saltwater guy and it's amazing how different this is than what I was used to. I do really want to get this right (with a passion) and any more help is totally welcome. I've read a lot about this and with all I've been through it appears I'm going to have to go full boar. Is this a total tank redo or can I make this work, and with what? I'd have redone this allready with a florite substrate if I wasn't so worried about a new cycle with my fish I have in it.
