Hi, I'm planning to start my first planted aquarium but I have alot of questions even after doing a week of research. I wanna make sure to do this right, so if anyone could answer some of these questions that would be great!
1. What hardy beginner plants can I tie on wood and rocks? Is there any technique to it or do I just tie it anywhere on the wood/rock? Can I jam them into small crevices too?
2. Can I just use my aquarium lights that came with my 55g tank? I'm planning on getting the easiest low tech hardy plants available...
3. Do I NEED fertilizer/Pods? If so, how many pods do I put in and how often?
4. Is there a low tech hardy carpet plant that won't grow too too much? I've heard some can be impossible to remove once added. Also same question for moss.
5. I've seen some people super-glue plants... Is that safe?
6. What are some low tech hardy plants that would be good for the back of the tank? Ones that will grow bushy and large.
7. When I buy the plants and I open the plants little pod that they come in how do I know if it's one plant, or several that I can spread around the tank?
8. How deep do I plant them? Just barely so I don't see the roots, or can I bury a little more?
9. I'm using a gravel substrate. Should I mix some soil in there too?
I know that's alot of questions, but thanks for helping!
