Aquarium Advice Newbie
I have recently purchased a 10gal. tank and have allowed it to cycle for almost 3 weeks now. I had a family friend test the water, and he said its good to go, as far as fish are concerned.
But I am not ready for that just yet. I want to add plants and am mightily confused, even after reading many of the stick posts above.
I know I need a flourescent light, but the intensity is where I get foggy. Also, I am very foggy with the CO2 and substrate issues.
So, my questions are as follows:
1. Am I correct about the flourescent light, and is there anything else I need to know?
2. I understand that these plants will need CO2, but how do I go about doing this?
3. What type of substrate do I need? Will plain old gravel work, or am I gonna have to find something special? From what I read, it sounded like gravel will work, but other things are much better.
4. How many plants and what types of plants should I target?
