I've been looking into doing my first truly planted tank and I've been collecting all of the equipment. The tank is a decently stocked 130g (72x18x23) with angelfish and some others mixed in. Lighting is PC 4x65w (2x6500 2x10k) + 1 96w PC 6700k and I will eventually add two 96w PC bulbs. Substrate is undecided but I'm leaning towards a fired clay. CO2 will be DIY until I can get pressurized in a few months. Plants will be a couple swords, vals, anachris, ground cover and what ever else catches my fancy.
Why am I posting? Because I want general info or things to keep in mind, after posting alot in another forum I found that my information was lacking considerably after talking to my friend and his wife who have a planted aquarium.
Anything I should look into? Stocking level, spectrum, substrate etc?
