Re: Substrate for new planted tank
and i think you should start a new topic in aquascaping journal because your substrate query is finished and journal has started

He has been already kind enough to guide me on each and every step. It will be too much to ask for plants also.....

Re: Substrate for new planted tank
Nice to see the conversation and the gravel is also safe I believe!!!
So all the best!!!
Another question(hope i am not irritating you)!!! Have you make your substrate(soilrite or laterite) wet already???
If its not yet wet, also when you will pour the top layer try to make it dry, it will easier to place the wood and rocks and level it.
So all the best!!!

No not at all. All these points were quite useful. After all experience speaks.
