7th STEP : ADDING LIVE PLANTS
A dense supply of live plants right from the start is important if you want to avoid algae. Your local aquarium should have a large selection of live plants for you to choose from. Once you have made selections remove the bundled plants from their container and trim the roots to about 1 to 2 cm. Next, place the plants in the gravel while protecting the roots with your fingers. Afterwards, gently pull the plant upwards just slightly so that the roots are pointing downwards. This will ensure that the plant's roots can develop quickly. Stem plants should be cut off just above the plastic foam and then placed separately into the substrate. Once you are satisfied with your planting you can then finish filling the aquarium and install the lights.
