Freshwater planted tank

I want to start a 40 gallon fresh water planted tank and need advice. Is there anyone on this board keeping fresh water planted tank?

Thanks,
Luong.

There is no one on this board "period"!

C02 and Lighting are Key to planted tanks.
Jason at EWOF is taking his planted 40 down...id ask him.
I just got rid of all my Freshwater fish, to make a temporary home for the eel.

You keep changing. What are you keeping in the 125 now? Are you keeping the rock in the cichlid tank?

Remember the T-5 I got from you? Can I use it for plant or I need to change the bulbs?

it will give some color, but you need more light for plants.
Jason took all his stuff to EWOF, id talk with him. His tank was doing well.

the 120 will have an eel, till i can get it a home.
I dont plan to use all the rock, just need to make it a big cave.
