Ok, so I'm finally starting on my project of converting my 10g to a planted tank! First, I plan on moving my few fish in there to my bigger tank. Then, I will drain all the water (saving 5gal of it in a bucket- hoping this will help with cycling). Then ill take out my ugly blue rocks. I have bought some organic potting soil, flora max, and some marine sand (is marine sand ok to use in freshwater tanks? It was the only kind I could find). I think I will put a small amount of soil in the places where I plan on having heavy root feeders (back and sides). Next, a 1 inch layer of the flora max, and finally sand on top. Do any more experienced aquarists out there have any advice before I start and mess something up? or should I return any of the things I got? I kept all the receipts just in case thank you for any guidance in advance!
