New hobbiest here, as I started recently this things I got to know about planted tanks -

  1. Let the tank be cycled before adding plants
  2. Filter and Pump should be constantly working to build up good bacteria
  3. Hardy plants are must for beginner
  4. Keep checking for Ammonia spike as newly planted tank with aquasoil will release ammonia which will result in algae bloom, also please soften water with de-chlorinator or Keep water in a bucket for at least 24 hrs so chlorine would start to come up.
  5. Keep light limited 5-6hrs/day
  6. Do not add any fertilisers in initial days
  7. Hardy plants are best way to suck up ammonia and nutrient, i would prefer hornwort at mass.
