Aquarium substrate? - aquarium substrate
I have about 1 inch ground floor in my 55 liter tank. In concept, plant life, and I wonder if that was enough. I have a layer above the substrate of live plants? If so, how? Thanks

If it is an entirely new tank, I would put the planting substrate on the ground and covered with gravel in the aquarium and not vice versa. Plant roots tend to grow downward and outward, which is more advantageous to the substrate, that the rich (in nutrients which do not require a thick layer of it) in the upper layer of the substrate.
The total number of substrate layer should be 4 to 10 cm (1.5 to 4 inches), not too much or you risk a black background with the largest, from lack of oxygen and circulation. In most planted tanks, the general pattern of the inclination of the front substrate (surface) back (lower). This gives the impression of greater depth is that it is easier to detect an accumulation of dirt in the back and bottom of the plants tend to deeply rooted.
Planting by the substrate, which is very useful to grow fluorite (plants faster than weeds). Some other products have received good reviews include user CaribSea Eco-Complete and Aquasoil ADA. Another good thing is that I used from a Japanese company, Gex, not sure if there is a generaloutside of Asia.
1-1.5 cm of a substrate from the plant would be better ... A tariff is relatively shallow-rooted plants ... Flourite substrate EcoComplete plants are large and, like most others. If the plants are not sufficiently able to root, which often go by other fish or death of the root growth.
