30 gallon planting

atleast 2 watts of lighting per gallon. a basic fertilizer(use it very sparringly at first unless your plants show defiencies).
these are the basic things needed for a planted tank, this isnt the best by any means. im recommending just starting with this as some crays destroy plants. so i would see what happens, test a few plants out

Fertilizers would be something like Root Tabs, or liquid fertilizer. Here is Co2, there are a few ways you can do Co2 for your tank if you want to. There are a couple informative threads about WpG on MFK, just do a little search, it might even be a sticky. Make sure that lighting is in the right range. 6500k is popular, I think most say over 10000k is useless, I don't know either way.
id like to warn you considering nobody else has yet. I have had crayfish before, they eat everything. Plants, algae, shrimp, bloodworms. I honestly do not think this will work if you are conisdering plants in a crayfish tank. Let me know if u have any questions.
Try reading the stickies. They are really informative. Also, a lot of the questions you're asking depend on the plants you choose, and that information is readily available for you to find after you've chosen the plants. If a plant doesn't have leaves, it will die, even if it does have roots. Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves. So, the crays will kill the plants.
