whats up everyone?
ok so when i first set up my tank i only knew about the nitrogen cycle and wasn't quite sure what my plan was for the tank. i know, big mistake right!! Anyway I ended up pickin up some coarse gravel. shortly after i realized the beauty of the planted tank and researched that i have the wrong substrate. I have 3 anubias in there right now, only two rooted though. I know that you're not supposed to take out all the substrate at once because the biological filter. so my question is, what's the best way to change out the substrate? What's the best substrate for a planted tank with two t5 32 w light bulbs? i think my substrate might work since there are two rooted plants now but i'm not sure how to tell. Thanks for the advice, I can't wait to get some more plants in my tank
