natural colored gravel (may not use this)
powerhead
heater
get:
eco complete
llots of ow to mid light plants; mosses, grasses, anubias, etc...

do i need to upgrade my light or can i just stick a different watt bulb in the fixture?
can i layer gravel on the bottom and the nutrient rich substrate on top?
what types of ferts do i need and how much per week?
water changes?
