When you are ready, let me know, and I can walk you through the process. But til then, look around at several plants to get an idea of what you like. It also depends on how much work you want to put into it to. Do you want a low light and easy to maintain, or higher light and CO2 injected? Mine are all high light, with CO2. And don't be afraid of trying CO2. It's pretty easy, and there are ways to keep costs down some. In this tank above, I have a 10lb bottle of CO2 going through my regulator, solenoid, needle valve, and bubble counter, and on to an airstone, which I have below the intakes of my XP2 filter and a Maxijet 600 powerhead. The CO2 that goes to the filter get's dissolved, and the CO2 that goes to the powerhead gets shot around the tank as a CO2 mist. Mist is much more effective than CO2 being dissolved. And since going to this method, I no longer have all the algae problems that I was plagued with in the past. And the BGA I had recently is now almost gone, since the start of using the CO mist.
