Hey,
So I'm making the transition to a planted tank. Currently it's just sitting there empty. I've read a few things on line and every article seems to be different so I wanted some local input. It's a 50 gal, and ideally I would love to keep Geo's but from past experience they are diggers. So I'm looking for driftwood that I can have plants attached to so they get dug up everyday. I've read that you start with the dirt base, preferably one made for aquariums and then have the gravel on top. I'd like to use a white "sand" like, very fine grain gravel. After the gravel, here is where I get confused. Do I add the plants or the water next? Also what is the best way to plant them so that they stay rooted? Do I need to add anything to the water right away, or wait a few weeks? Sorry for the silly questions, but I'm a noob when it comes to planted tanks.
Thanks,
