oh and to answer your question, the water needs to have a TDS of 150-200. So soft acidic water. ZERO ammonia, ZERO nitrites. Not too strong flow, not too much food and most people use ADA soil as substrate. ADA itself takes forever to cycle (> 1 month) as it has ammonia in it.

Lot's of things you need to worry about but once you figure it out you should be fine. Try with some low grade CRS if you plan on doing it right away... Read some of the threads on BCA and you can see the troubles people have with CRS.
