Aquarium Advice Freak
Hey guys,
I'm new to planted tanks and I currently have a 55 gallon up and running that I was going to add some amazon swords and java fern to. However, the more research I do the more I realize that sand might not be such a good substrate for a planted tank. I've seen a lot about flourite substrate. SO, I was thinking about setting up the 125 to be the planted community tank. I see that a lot of people mix the flourite with aquarium gravel. Could I mix it with sand instead? I eventually want to have a very full planted aquarium. I think they are just beautiful. Could anyone give me some insight on how much flourite I would need to mix in for a 125 gallon tank?
