Hi Guys
Im very new to the planted aquarium scene.
Ive been doing my basic research in substrates and im not totally sure on what to go for as ive seen people doing different setups and all achieving great results.
My question is what's best, below are a few options
1. Just using an aqua soil on its own
2. Using a power sand like ADA then top it off with a good aqua soil
3. Using a tropica plant growth substrate then topped off with a 4cm 1-2mm gravel
Because im new to the scene i plan on keeping easy to look after plants until i get my head around the chemistry. I haven't decided if i should go with co2 as im not sure if i need to or not.
Be great to hear what are the pros and cons of each options and hopefully it will steer me to the right direction of choosing my substrate
Cheers
Andy
