I recently bought a 120 litre aquarium with the idea of turning it into a mid to high light aquarium with vast variety of slow-fast growing plants. Co2 injection and a clip on light will be added to the aquarium at some point.
My question is, in order to get excellent plant growth, do I need more than just sand as a substrate? If so, why and can anybody make any recommendations?
I dodged the idea of using any special substrates that are designed to enhance plant growth 1 year ago when I started my first planted tank because I heard that it loses it's function due to becoming expired (i.e.the nutrients for the plants eventually becomes used up in such substrates).
