im very interested in these planted aquarium...

just what do i need to expect from a fully working planted aquarium...

like izzit easy to maintain ? do i need to change water ?
At least how big of the aquarium do i need to maintain a healthy environment...
*

hi there..
welcome to the club..

as for a starter, i believe a standard 2ft tank will do nicely. for a cost break out, you may need a sifu to come in and explain.
as for the water change (WC), yes, you have to do it at least once a week for 30%.

this is a good reading

DON'T BUY PLASTIC TANK. it is not suitable.

please state your budget first before buying the equipment and how big the tank that you want to setup.
*
+1
2ft standard tank also almost the same price with the plastic.

@James_yka,
where's your location??

my case almost the same as you. but i opt to use diy co2.
still i'm using a philip spiral 15w as my glosso already pearled when i increased the co2 1.5bps.

activated carbon will only be useful for the 1st 2month..
after that, you need to take out the carbon as it will absorb all the good nutrition needed by the plants..

btw, welcome to the club
