Ok in my 135g, i would like to add some some plants, i would like just some swords or similar stuff, which would be planted more in the middle of the tank since i have driftwood at each end of the tank.
Currently i have a play sand bottom, and running dual t-8 fixture.
My questions are:
Can I plant the plants in the sand or should i use clay pots and use different type of soil?
I would like to upgrade my lighting, what should i get? i was looking at this, would it work:
