Greetings,
We finally got a new 75 gallon tank and cabinet. It's in a great location against an east wall that gets bright, but not direct, sunlight. Our plan is to have a lush planted tank but we can't find anything definite about what base substrate to use for a planted tank. I've seen lots of opinions - everything from potting soil to "don't worry about it, the gravel is fine".
We have 60 lbs of pea gravel so far . . . . So tell us what would you put down first if you were starting fresh? Give us your opinions!
Thanks!
Peace,
Gail
