Hi guys
Obviously new to this forum, looking for help and guidance as ive just decided to 'plant' my 6' discus tank.
I will ask questions in the help section, but just a quick rundown on what ive got ordered for the tank.
2 Echinodorus Rose xl
2 Barthii xl
2 Ozelot xl
2 Palifolius xl
2 Crypto Wendti xl
5 Crypto Wilissi
2 Hygrophila corymbosa 'Siamensis' xl
2 Alternanthera reineckii 'Pink' xl.
5 Helanthium bolivianum 'Quadricostatus'
1 Lymphaea lotus
I was recommended all these for a discus tank due to very easy to care for plants with very low lighting needed.
I was also recommended Easy Life Profito as the fertiliser to use and some root tabs as i dont have a soil substrate, just sand.
I cant take a picture just yet as the tank is still green looking, Ive just finished treating it with Esha Hexamita for hole in the head disease.
Have i been recommended correctly and have i ordered too many plants?
Thanks and looking forward to this mini project with the help of you guys.

Forgot to say, Its a 6' tank with 2 Oase Biomaster 850 thermo's filled with bio ultimate and seachem matrix and purigen.
Lighting is 3 AI prime freshwater lights (the old 13 led's). temp is 28c and ph is 6.9
