You can put the plant roots in sand if you want but root feeding won't work well unless you have nutrients in the substrate, and I don't think it's worth paying for specialized soil for such a large tank, especially considering the fact that planted tanks generally require deeper substrate. Plus, if you tie plants to objects, you can get them closer to the light fixture at the top of the tank. CO2 isn't necessary unless you have a high tech tank and want pearling
All of that makes perfect sense, and it's the reason I mounted that anubias in the picture on the log right under the lights. I took a close up picture of it too and it looks terrible. It seemed like the ideal spot for it too =/
Something's wrong if I'm killing anubias tied to a log right under a light.
