Ok thanks

Just a 10 gallon. I have it just laying around and figured I would try plants in it

What does that cost

Budget isnt really an issue. Im not trying to go cheap but I dont want to go super expensive. Just a nice set up

Like I said earlier This is going to be my first planted tank ever. I need all the help I can get lol.

What is a good substrate. I heard some people use just potting soil

I will definitely look those up and see if they sell those around by me

I have done absolutely no research on plants. I wouldn't know where to start lol. I should probably start with some easy plants

Ive never had a planted tank before, I have a 10 gal. Tank just sitting and I was thinking about starting one. Any suggestions?

I'm going to agree with you on the cycling of the tank. It was my first time transferring tanks. I used at liquid test kit. Ammonia was below .25 ppm, nitrites were 0 ppm, and nitrates were also 0 ppm.

I did not test the bag water. Every fish I've had has been acclimated the same way. And they've all lived. That is until the transfer (which I probably did wrong).

The transfer to the 20 gal. Didn't go well. I lost all my fish except 2 guppies and 2 ghost shrimp. They are doing great now though. I hope it was just a stressed goldfish.

I have tetra chems, aqua safe and easy balance

The tank has been up for a week. I transfered from a 10 gallon. Everything came from the ten, rocks, plants, etc. I tested with a liquid kit. The goldfish sat in its bag in the water for 30 minutes before I put it in.

I have two guppies and two ghost shrimp in a 20 gal. Tank. I added a feeder goldfish today to test the water to see if I could add any fish yet and it died in and hour. What could be in my water?! All tests show that the water is good.
