So I just got a 55 gallon hexagon fish tank and I wanted to make this a planted aquarium with discus and maybe clown loach
But anyways I am new to planted aquariums and I really need help on setting this up
I am planning on using a sand substrate but I read that under the main substrate I need to put in a layer of some sort of special substrate to help the plants grow??
What do I really need?
And what is a good rule of thumb for lighting? 3 watts per gallon?
Anything else I need?
Please help
