Re: How much harder is it? I don't know what your budget is but 100% flourite will cost you a lot. You can mix it 50/50 with a small pebble shaped gravel to cut costs. You could also go laterite under the gravel. Another option is the schultz clay soil conditioner, which would be the cheapest method. I could not find it anywhere here so I went all flourite.
You will need a C02 tank for that size tanks. Look into PC lighting which will be your biggest expense.
With that lighting, you could just change a couple bulbs, and make a Reef tank later on when you decide you want that route.
Yes, it would be eisier but much more expensive,
