OK, so I don't have it yet....i'm just got a few amazons, javas, wisteria and plants I don't even remember the names to.

55 gallon with 12 fish (mainly gouramis)

BIG QUESTIONS:
Lighting: i've got a power-glo 40w and aqua-glo 40w. more or less? How long to keep lights on.

Filtration: I've got Emperor 400 w/ bio wheels. Too much movement? Should I move to canister. Which?

Substrate: small pebbles. do I need fertilizer like Nutrafin Plant Gro Fertilizer Sticks? Should I treat water with Iron/Vitamin B supplements?

CO2: how do I get it in? Can i trust a product like Nutrafin Plant Gro CO2 System

Plants:
any must-haves? How do you plant moss?

Please help! Any good online shops I should visit. I mostly do petsolutions.com

THANKS!
