What are your plans? Substrate mix, plants etc.

I haven’t actually bought any plants or any substrate I am going to buy it all soon. Do you have any recommendations on what to use for Substrate?

It’s been a while since I set it up, but there are some good articles on this website about it.
for my substrate, I used 1part coco fiber, a little over one part long fiber sphagnum moss, a little less than one part fine sand, and one part reptibark. Along with the clean up crew (temperate isopods, dwarf white isopods, and giant canyon isopods) and some clean charcoal mixed with the substrate for the clean up crew

I’ve heard they sell packages with the necessary bugs and all that jazz already mixed in.

overrated and overpriced... I'll sell all the bugs for half the price and still make profit easily

I’ve also ordered a few clean plants from them as well. They are affordable and in great condition

For someone who wouldn’t want to do it all separately might like the convenience.
