Hello all,
I set up my tank about a month and a half ago and really like the setup. One huge piece of Mopani and some other African root wood, looks very nice. The one thing I now regret is decorating with plastic plants. Have gravel as my substrate and am wondering what I am getting into with transforming my tanks to natural plants. Do I need to remove the gravel or can the plants root in it? I know I will probably have to tweak my lighting, add a CO2 system and that's fine with me. I just don't want to go through all the work and expense just to have the plants die. If you would look at my tank info I would really appreciate it, I also appreciate all wise and knowing answers!
 
Plants do fine with gravel if the stones aren't too big. You can get away without CO2 if you keep the lighting below 2Wpg.
