Speed kills! Slowly! Freshwater setups are deadly easy if u know Wut plants u want, how much light and nutrients they require, and a good substrate. A nice layer of nutrient rich substrate underneath a small layer of regular aquarium gravel to keep the lighter plant substrate down. Carbon dosing will work well in a small setup. C02 can be bulky sometimes. Carpeting plants need a lot of light, so a good 6500k-8000k are ideal spectrums for plants. Common hardware stores will carry lights. Another route is led with these wavelengths. Cost efficient! Minimal flow. Mimicking slow rivers and pools will make all inhabitants happier.
Good luck!
