Not sure where this goes ( dident see a section, or I skipped it, Feel free to move this ).

I think i'm gona try and do a planted tank, but I have some questions first;
1.) substrate? Is there any special type or types?
2.) Can I use a w/d filter with a planted tank?
3.) cO2, Whats a good cheap method for this.
4.) I plan on having these fish; ( tell me if it wouldent work, or give me some suggestions on what other fish to add. ) discus,neons,otos,royal pleco( any other cool fish for a planted tank?)
5.) whats a good light for planted tanks? ( please rate weather its best for plants that need low,med, or hi lighting )
6.) Should I use a UV system?

And anything else I've missed.

Thanks

I'm not sure on what type of plants I want yet. I think I will decide on that once I figure out whats the best type of lighting for these plants.
 
Take a little time and look through the site, the section has been there longer than you have been a member. You have been here long enough to know where the search function is. There are plenty of stickies in the appropriate section that have all the information you are looking for.
