Greetings, I am brand new to the aquascape and am in process of doing research to begin my first tank. I have never ran an aquarium before however I am seasoned in horticulture. I have been cultivating plants for over 10 years and am very familiar with transplanting, fertilizers, growing media, pH, Etc,Tds and things of that sort so I figure maybe some of that knowledge will carry thru, anyway just looking for some guidance perhaps a link to a good sticky to start at or just some basic advice, thinking about starting out in a 30gallon tank to start...any and all feedback is appreciated and thanks for your time!
