you cannot really get a 100% answer on that question. All of the above are important, and will eventually play a role in your plant growth. If all of the parameters are met, your plants will be beautiful colors and grow very well. If you are on a budget, I would just make sure you get good lighting, filtration, decent substrate. anything else is just extras that help out.

I don't have C02 injection, just a regular filter for the fish, sand substrate and regular lighting. Until I started adding the plant nutrients I had no growth and a lot of die off. Once I started using it my plants started to grow and flower. I use low light plants and swords. That has been my experience with plants.

but I mean list them form most immportant to least immportant... but I heard that lighting is very immportant but havent got to putting a new bulb in, and I do use some nutrients as well. No special gravel and a power filter. So I am thinking of getting anew filter because the one I have now is way too loud, more nutrients, some special gravel to make an underlayer and NO Co2. Thanks for the help...
