And jeff how thick is your substrate? how many bags did you use? And how many inches should I use for a planted 55? If I need 8 bags ill go to the poor house on substrate alone
Thanks

I am planning on injecting CO2 - once I can afford to. But I do need it - I'm surprised I don't have horrible algae already (knock on wood).

My substrate is about 2" deep all around - that's with 3 bags. After I add the fourth bag, it'll be around 2.5" deep.
