That said above, non CO2 is a method I would also encourage, but the ADA look, it's really a CO2 bias, so I chose to sway you that way. It is good/best, to learn to use both CO2 and non CO2 methods.
I have examples of both and why I chose the aquariums etc.

I also do have an ADA tank, stand etc, almost the entire set up, but without CO2.
All emergent growth plants and high current and rare plecos, cherry shrimps.
