There’s gonna be a sale next week, so I’m planning to possible get the fluval planted 3.0. Should I get the 36 inch or the 24 inch one?

Was going to buy the light today, but realized the original price was 40 ish dollars more than the one on amazon, making the sale price only a couple dollars less than if I ordered one on amazon.

I’m thinking about starting this project now since schools probably going to be cancelled for a while. I’m looking into carbisea as a substrate, I seen people pour carbisea over sand or do the opposite. Is this needed? And instead of getting a fancy light, I’m going to get a extra led strip by fluval for the light since it said 2 are better for planter tanks.
I’m thinking of using zebra rock and driftwood as a hardscape since I already have a lot of driftwood.
