Hello all,
For the past two months, I have been researching and studying aquatic plants and aquascaping. I spent lots of time reading Amano books and surfing the internet, looking at hundreds of plants and planted tanks from all over the world. Now, I think its time for me to create my own planted tank.
And over the two months, I bought a couple of things thats required prior to setting up a tank...
-26 gal. bow front
-24" USA current lighting (2x65watts)
-1 bag caribsea eco-complete substrate
-1 bag flourite brown and 1 bag flourite red
-1 hagen nutrafin CO2 setup (for now)
-1 flourish fert.
(big thanks to Stacey @ staceyspets for all of this
)
Now, I'm ready to start but I have a question about my substrates. Can I mix all 3 together or should I put the Eco-complete on the bottom then put the flourite red/brown on top?
and how many inches of substrate should I put?
