I must confess it’s not a ONLY planted tank but I also temporarily have a baby datnoid inside I took some recent criticism and acted on it and now I am grateful I listened because now it looks AWESOME atleast I think???

They're spaced really nicely. I'm trying to figure out how to do that still. My tank alternates between some danse llants and no plants at all.
do you need special gravel for plant sor can you just throw them in you tank the only live plants i have are some red root floaters

Some of the actual plant substrate will have added minerals and iron.
It makes things a lot easier but they can be expensive.
I use pool filter sand for substrate and make my own diy root tabs with Osmocote plus.
I buy powdered iron and potassium supplements made for agriculture and mix them myself.
For magnesium I use Epsom salts.
It’s a lot cheaper then buying the supplements marketed to aquarium keepers.
Other then that all you need is good lighting and if you want to really boost everything Co2.
Grear start. Good luck. Looking foward to seeing it when the plants fill out more later in few weeks and which plants are still there vs other plants.
