Hi I have a 17 gallon tank and I plan on transforming my current tank into a planted aquarium. I have been reading numerous articles and forums about this but I wanted some of your advice before i step into this. I have a few newbie questions, like... I use a hydro sand, does it have sufficient nutrients for the plants to start off with? Also Im thinking about adding a layer of sand on top of the hydro sand for hopefully a good visual effect, is it dumb? I recently bought huge rocks so I preferably want a plant that grows around it...well all over pretty much, like a "sheet of green plants". What should I get? I read an article that said I don't necessarily need a Co2 but if I want "pretty green" all over my tank, should I get it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
