I have two tanks one is 6 gallons with no fish in it, the other is 29 gallons with 3 gold fish in it. I am thinking about using my 6 gallon tank as a starter aquarium for plants. Is this a good idea? What do i need to start a successful planted aquarium?Looking for advice on how to start a planted aquarium?
Have a snoop around this site:

As long as you stick with hardy low-light plants you won't need much extra kit at all. Just a good substrate, good lighting and a lot of patience! I have Hygrophilia polysperma, the stuff is wild. From an original bunch I bought about 2 years ago I have now planted up about 5-6 tanks with it from 30 litres to 180 litres, and counting, the stuff just doesn't stop! And it's in a low-light situation with minimal fertilisation.
