A planted tank is exactly that, a tank with growing plants in it. Usually a fish tank or shrimp tank with selected aquatic plants and mosses that grow in an aquarium. They can be planted in the substrate or attached to certain hardscapes such as rocks or driftwood. It is a beautiful sight when created properly. Take a look at the link.
Yes, bettas are suitable fish for planted tanks. Unlike some fish they will not dig up, eat or damage plants.
Differnt types of fish tanks will need different levels on nitrate. However, most fish tanks benefit from as little nitrate as possible. Saltwater tanks should have almost no nitrates. Freshwater planted tanks conversely, should have about 10-20 ppm nitrate. For most normal, tropical freshwater aquariums, keeping nitrates below 20ppm is acceptable.
I assume by a regular tank, you mean one which contains freshwater fish, such as a goldfish tank. A reef tank consists of a mixed marine environment, containing a mixture of reef fish, corals, invertebrates, and other organisms. With respect to freshwater tanks, there are several types. Ciclid tanks, planted tanks, tropical tanks, and cold-water tanks could all be considered distinct types. Marine tanks come in just as many varieties also. There are cold-water varieties, reef tanks, FOWLR (Fish Only With LiveRock), lagoon tanks, and many others. Hope this helps.
You each planted a cactus. You both planted cacti.
Sturiosoma aureum (or sturisoma aureum) are a South American variety of catfish often called Giant Whiptail Catfish. They are peaceful algae eaters that prefer highly planted tanks and peaceful tankmates.
Under most circumstances nitrates encourage the growth of algae. Strangely, in some heavily planted tanks with high CO2 levels, higher nitrates seem to inhibit the growth of algae.
