Hi all,
I'm new to the planted aquarium world (have not been successful with
plants in the past). I have "invested" quite a bit of money lately on
tools and equipment to get my new planted tank started. I bought
myself the Hagen CO2 Natural Plant System, some nice river sand, API's
First Layer Laterite (which I plan to mix with my brown quartz
gravel). I also got one of those gravel tidies made by underworld. I
also have some Bioplast "MonoPur" filter peat. I'm scared, I'm not
sure I'm doing this right but here is my idea: I will first put a thin
layer of the filter peat, then approximately 3 inches of the
laterite/gravel mix, then put the gravel tidy over this, then place 2
inches of the river sand. Does this sound okay? Has anyone done this
before? I would really appreciate your help!

My tank details:
14 Gallons/50 litres (15H x 18W x 10D)
1.6 Watts of light/Gallon
PH: 7.8
GH: 15 dH

Plant list:
Cryptocoryne Wendtii "Brown"
Anubias Barteri "Coffeefolia"
Echinodorus Osiris (Rubra)
Lysimachia Nummularia 'Aurea'
Ludwigia Glandulosa "Perennis"
Limnophila Heterophylla
Hemygraphis Colorata
Echinodorus Parviflorus 'Tropica'
