I've wanted an aquarium with plants for a long time. More than just a few plants in containers. That was great. As the instructions and others will tell you, it takes time to settle and filter out when you first add it to the aquarium. I haven't planted or added any fish in about a month. The water was cloudy the whole time, no matter how many times I cleaned the filter or did small water changes. But after it settles, the aquarium becomes a wonderland when you start planting it and adding its inhabitants. My tank is known as Mayberry or Cat TV. Mayberry is home to Andy, Barney, Otis, Homer, Goober and Darlings. We recently hatched an egg and it looks like we've added Opie, Ernest T Bass and Thelma Lou. All my plants are now well established in the substrate and I will be adding more here and there. The whole family, including cats, will love this aquarium. It's nice and quiet. The gravel helps a lot. My tank is 30 gallons and I only have 1 bag in it.
