Filtration for planted tank

[WyldFya]

Well I have an air sponge hooked up now, I am assuming I have to take it out because it produces bubbles which break the surface?

I'm a newb when it comes to planted tanks and actually keeping them lively and running efficiently.

All I know is I will have plenty of light (at least 150watts), good substrate (eco-complete), and some good plants.
The water parameters is what has me confused a bit.

Do you have co2 injection? If you do, then remove any surface agitation. If not, then keep the bubbles flowing.

No CO2 hook-up, probably will not do that.
