Hi All from Oakland

[shkarp]

Relatively new to this, have had my tank for about 8 months now. Looking to make sure I'm on the right path and get some advice about successfully planting my tank.

I did make the mistake of initially buying the cheapest gravel so not sure if I will need to replace that if I want to plant the tank.

Welcome. I work in Oakland.
I'm a member of the local planted tank club. I'm running out the door, but I'll say more later.

I think there are lot of plants that would do fine in gravel. Gravel is just a bit of a pain to me, because cleaning the substrate would be near impossible without disturbing the roots.


May the force be with you.

Yah I had that problem initially when I had a few moneywort plants. The roots would continually get pulled out

Sand is a lot easier. You can stick with gravel for now. If you join our club, we do plant swaps. You can end up with some free plants at almost every meeting.
