yeah.. I had a 29gal up and running for about 4 months total.. I had decided about 2 months ago that I was going to get this tank.. so I started researching all I could. what was the best filters for my money.. heaters.. co2 ect.. I bought the takashi amano books 1 and 3 and the planted paradise book by amano. I still need the book 2.. but I will find it. I wanted to get the filters up and running on my existing tank so that way the nitrifying bacteria was growing when I set up my new tank. I wanted the substrate that would be good for the plants but not break my wallet.. I spent about 100.00 of the substrate total.. If I were to buy eco.. it would of cost me about 50.00 more that what I spent.. so yeah.. alot of research.. sorry.. rambling
