I am trying to do some research on planted tanks and am considering converting my 30 gallon long to a planted tank but want to know how involved this would be. I am pretty sure my substrate will need to be changed because I have rather large stone/river rock. I am just not sure what I need. Also I know I have to upgrade my lighting as I only have a standard hood and light right now and would like to be able to have plants that require moderate to high light, so suggestions on a good light and price ranges would be great! And last but not least, Co2, do I need it, will it harm my fish, and if I need it what is a good system? Any other suggestions you may have would be great as I said I am trying to learn before making the investment, as I would rather do it right the first time than buy a bunch of stuff and have to replace and redo later because I did it wrong. Thanks in advance for anyones help!!
