One of the most important aspects of keeping plants is the lighting. Make sure that you have enough light for the type plants you will be keeping. I would recommend a low light/low tech tank to begin with, 1.5 watts per gallon will do the trick. Also make sure to use a plant bulb rated at 5500k-10000k (kelvin), if using one bulb I would use a 5500k-7500k bulb.
