Default newbie with plants

do yourself a favor and go to wal mart or home depot and buy yourself a
sunshine bulb (not the exact name) the packaging is bright orange and the
bulb should say "chroma 50". That will be the bast improvement you can make
for the money. without good lighting co2 is absolutely useless. Next, and
a little more $ buy one bag of Seachem Flourite gravel ($15). I swear by
this stuff.Be sure to rinse it well. Throw away your old gravel. If you
can't find it order it online. For this $20 you will make life much much
much easier for yourself. With this equpment you should be able to grow
alot of different plants and if you do things right in a month you should
have a mini forest. do some reading about aquascaping to help you decide
which plants to buy. plant fairly heavy from the start but avoid this
mistake: when you buy your plants many types will be bunched together
seperate them and plant each plant seperately.
