My new 33G setup will have a substrate of 100% ADA Aqua Soil + mulm.

I understand peat can be used to good effect too. Is this placed on the bottom along with the mulm and topped with AS?

I understand the mulm kickstarts the good bacteria production, what function does the peat have?

How much mulm and peat are we talking? What type of peat, aquarium-branded peat moss?

I assume I should be starting EI from the outset (high-light, pressurized CO2, large bio-mass)?
