I dont!! Just do midwater water changes once a month or so-the plants do a great job on water quality.

I get them locally for the most part-there is a store that calls me when they order so I get what I want-they hook me up.
Ok so i have a 90 gallon just sitting here. Please help me make that. i know i should probally get told go to the planted tank forums, but if someone could tell me a brand and a prive they paid ill go off of that. Like example for a 90 gallon what would be a good light fixture and what would it cost. i know enough to compare price wise but i just needed to be pushed to the correct way to set mine up.
