Hey guys! so im new to the planted aquariums but not new to the addiction!! i have a Reef tank and a member of COMAS but wanting to get into the planted aquarium side of things im going to be using a 75 gallon with led lighting and have the co2 system on its ways but unsure which substrate to use. my LFS " Aquariums in Edmond" said theres a good DIY way to do it. Does anyone know how?

I'm just getting into this myself and am also going to be setting up a new tank. I have some organic miracle grow potting soil that i'm going to use as an inch to 3 sub-soil then top it with black flourite

What fauna are you gonna put in the tank?

by the way Mbryant. If you're ever in Tulsa stop by our shop at 61st and Memorial. We're all saltwater but I have a few fresh water displays set up and a vivarium to show off what we can do for maintenance clients. I'm exceted about getting a nice planted tank up there. How'd yours turn out. My miracle grow with a flourite and eco complete cap turned out GREAT. The water was very tan for about the first month but a weekly water change took care of that.

...Oh, we also have some fresh water supplies at the shop
