29 gal (I think), low tech no co2, will add excel every week, dimensions are L 24, W16.
I am hopefully ordering my substrate within the next two days so I can start an emersed growth.
I am going to be ordering aqua soil in black, the normal and sand type. I am not sure exactly which one to get though, I have heard good things about the amazonia but there is type I and type II, which one? I know some people said you don't need the sand, but why not? I originally wanted a sand substrate but I figured this was the most efficient method as far as growing plants go.
How deep should I make the normal substrate and how deep should I make the sand?
How much do I need to achieve a successful setup with this substrate? (9L x ?)
Any other information you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Money really isn't an issue for this because I want to set the substrate and forget about it, I heard ADA is worth the money and I figure it will be a good source of nutrients for my plants so why not.
Thanks.
