As in title, really :)

Sorry if there's already a thread dedicated to this but I don't think I've found it yet!

If there isn't I'd like the info in steps if you could - other new members may benefit too, especially if they've never had a planted tank before (like me)! All I need to know is how to plant the tank, when to put the plants in and how to care for the plants once they're in and a part of the aquarium.

eg; what type of substrate do I use, how thick a layer should there be etc. :p Thanks!


EDIT: Also, If anybody can recommend a good filter for a 120L tropical tank then that'd be great. The tank has a lid on it with a modest opening at the back, between the hinges. :)

Not just a thread but a whole section . . . http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/forum/220-plants-and-planted-tanks/
You'd be better off posting in the planted section of the forum tbh.
