I have a question about plants and aquariums, it might seem dumb to others but i rather be criticised and learn than ignorant. My question is this... If i put plants in my tanks wouldnt it be hard to vacuum the gravel or next to impossible to do so? I have always kept fish and have been rather successful at it but i have never had plants, yes i provide driftwood, caves, rocks and i love my fish enough to make my girlfriend jealous with the care that i provide them with, but i always feel like there is something missing and although i know what it is i am hessitant to plant my aquariums if it means that i cant provide a clean and safe enviroment for my fish. What can i do to provide more beauty and a better ecosystem for my extended family? can anyone help me with my questions? I ask because i am getting my wall mounted tank ready for fish and i need advise, i dont worry about money because this is something dear to me since my father started me and like i said before i had to leave him behind in my country but we still communicate and talk about our tanks every week, so i dont care what i have to spend to make my set up work well, thanks in advance to all in this site.
) freshwater tank with 2 fluvial canisters, with some innert rock and a 3" substrate deph and no fish or light yet, it is cycled but i havent gotten the lights for it because i am trying to decide Plant or No Plants, hope this helps
