Is there a wrong way?

[glctsc]

Hello to all,
My wife and I are having a hard time agreeing with the substrate method.
We have a 75gal which will be planted and have CO2 injection. We are using
natural river gravel and Seachem Flourite. I want to layer on top of the UGF with
gravel, then flourite, then final layer of gravel. My wife likes the idea of mixing
the gravel anf flourite together.Is there a wrong way of doing this or should I
say a better or more efficient way? Also,what should be the average depth of
the gravel be?
Thanks
Greg and Tam

i have an UGF and i have an inch in the front and about 1.5 to 2 inches in the back to give it some depth and it gives more plants a base to start in

It doesn't make much difference in the end. My planted tank has the flourite on the bottom and a finer gravel on top, for aesthetic purposes. The plant roots will find the flourite no matter where you put it.
