hi there i just bought a 40 gallon tank that is 36in long 18in deep and 17in high and i plan on doing a planted tank but! i dont know how and want it to be right so heres my situation.
i have my marineland 100 gallon canister filter i plan on using since i already have it
i dont know what lighting i need or is recomended (i have had luck with just a regular florecent bulb and a single plant b4 so i dont know whats good haha)
also is just regular tubesand ok for plants? i love how it looks and i clean it of course but is it ok for plants? does it matter?
im wanting plants like a kind of moss that cover a majority of my driftwood and rock and want a couple long plants for random spots and something like a grass to kinda take over the bottom so please if someone could give me a list of what i need to even have a planted tank it would be amazing and perhaps a list of good plants.
thank you so much
