How would you go about cleaning that kind of substrate. Iv read that by cleaning it, its removes a lot of the beneficial nutrients and other properties. Now what would be the proper light range for high plants so that if i ever decide to venture that direction I wont need to buy a new light fixture.

Awesome I will do some research on substrates for underneath the sand, You mention you used flourite, have you had a lot of luck with it? I have only ever used the basic lighting for my aquariums, Does the blue/purple Leds add a greater viewing experience that is greatly noticable?

So im thinking a 3inch base of substrate. Would you do 2 inches of the eco and 1 inch of sand? Also I took a look at the T5 aquarium light fixtures. They have a led varient There a little more pricey but do you think that there overall worth the extra price?

When you do dual substrates do you mix them or lay one and then lay the other on top?

My tank is 24 Inches tall. I orignally wanted black sand becasue I think it would look good with lava rocks and driftwood. But now that Iv decided i want plants I doubt thats a good decision. So i want very easy and hardy plants since this is my first time and after i get more aquainted I will...

So I want to try to stick with low light plants jsut for the fact that i want to avoid getting a Co2 system right away. I have some up with a list of some plants that i like, Please tell me what you think and if they would work well together. Dwarf hairgrass, Anacharis, Anubias Nana, Cabomba...
