Advice:
Track nitrates, phosphates and chelated iron and dose what is necessary for plants at least once a week. Check PH every day if dosing CO2. Use dry chemicals to save money, KNO3 (nitrates and potassium), K2SO4 (potassium), Fleet enema (phosphates), CSM+B (traces), epsom salts (magnesium). Inject CO2 and have 4 watts per gallon of light. Use SAE, farlowella, flag fish, ottos, molly to clean algae while starting up. Use UV sterilizer to avoid green water and have crystal clean water. Fill aquarium with water until water line is not visible to avoid calcium deposits on glass. Use plain polyfill pillow stuffing for filter floss, you don't need anything else in canister filter.

Advice:
Treat your fish and plants with respect and they will thrive. Give fish something to do and a rich environment in which they can express their natural behaviour as much as possible. Re aquascaping, after taking your fish's needs into account, do your own thing in terms of aesthetics. Express yourself in your layout and your aquarium will have a truly unique look, it's a ultimately a matter of taste.
