Any 'Oranda' enthusiast out there?

I have a 55 gal tank and am pondering the thought of a couple oranda's. I have nothing else in the tank.

What sort of substrate is best for goldfish? I am hoping for minimal upkeep. The substrate I have is 3 inches deep, a blue and white gravel. I also have an under gravel filter. Do these really do anything? I would rather have a bubble disc and/or bubble curtain for air circulation.

Also, I have white gritty substance on my filter and around the hood. Is this mineral deposits? How can I control this and clean it off safely.

I would like to have live plants in the tank with the Oranda's. I have an Amazon Sword plant at present.

My filter is a biowheel.

Thanks,

Tropicalfreak
