i'm new here and i have a 15gal tank. i am planning to put plants in it, but i heard from friend that it is very difficult to clean cause he has to avoid the plants everytime or else it would be pulled off the gravel. i saw some tank in the net and they dont use gravel. is there another alternative to it, like a soil like material so i can put the plant in like planting in a garden? :? i hope you guys understand if i sound silly cause i have no idea as to how to do this and i want to make it right. thanks
