Re: [AGA-Member] Rookie Questions

["Will Luden" <luden@infopartners.com>]

Hello,

I long been a tropical fish hobbyist, and only recently have I undertaken the task putting together the type of tank about which I have long dreamt: a planted discus and tetra tank.

Despite my research and experimentation (including some failed experiments), I still have some questions that I cannot answer:
1.  What is the best self-regulating CO2 system?
2.  How do I balance the plants' need for CO2 and the fishes' needs for aeration?
3.  What kind of substrate should I use, e.g., should I use a "complete formulation" or just add something like laterite?
4.  What is a good combination of "starter" plants, including foreground, midground and rear?

BTW, I have a 57-gallon tank, and while budget is always an issue, having a successful, relatively trouble free tank is more important.

With my thanks to anyone who will offer advice,

Will Luden
