Aquarium Advice Newbie
I grew up cobbling together aquarium supplies as I could find them and I never had any luck growing plants. I just took a position managing aquariums at my college and now that I have a budget larger than zero dollars, I want to try growing aquatic plants native to my area (Indiana).
I have been shopping around for substrate and I never dreamed that there was more out there than pea gravel.
Can anyone recommend a good substrate for planted aquariums that will do well with harder water and won't break the bank?
My goal is to set up planted aquariums with native plant species contrasted with invasives for use in teaching students conservation values and practices.
