Pros and cons of a dirted tank

I've done a few dirted tanks, and they worked really well for me. I planted very heavily straight from the start (stuck to fast and medium growers, mainly crypts, hygrophila and helanthium + floaters) and kept the light on low to mid strength. It can definitely turn into a mess when (re)moving plants.

@Tiger15 Oh, definitely. You can get just as lush of plant growth in inert substrate as in dirt, all my current tanks are inert ('cept some jars, hah), with occasional root tabs & water column dosing.
