First tank sand question

[ambrosia0426 6]

Heyy just put the soil in my first tank! It's 75x35x40, 105L, 27G, I put like 3 cm of aquasoil on the front and 6-7 cm on the back bc I plan on putting plants on the back mostly and sand on front for corys, should I do a sand layer everywhere of about 1 cm or just put a spot in the front of the tank???
I rinsed the sand out today and plan on putting it in wet tomorrow when I buy some plants that I want to glue to some wood and rocks (Java Fern, Anubias nana, Anubias barteri and Java Moss). I'll add the rest of the plants (Water Wisteria, Cryptocoryne wendtii, Dwarf Sagittaria, Amazon Frogbit, Red Root Floater) like a week or two after starting the cycling, then I plant to add some Amano and Cherry Shrimp (like 6 of each) and 4 Clithon Corona. Then when it's completely cycled I plan on adding 8 Chili Rasbora (or any similar ones), 8 Corys (panda corys or bandits) and 1 Male Honey Gourami (or another small schooling fish like 8 neon tetra).

I've researched a ton about cycling and I'm in a group that answers pretty quickly but I want to know how to the the hardscape first

I don't think that it matters what you do as far as the sane is it will just, eventually, sift down through the soil.

Then I'll get another schooling fish instead, maybe some neon tetras, don't think I'll get more than 8 as they are my first fishes xD

what about green neons (smallest from neon type fish) or other a bit bigger rasbora

I'll look at the available ones in my local fish store and ask the guy there, he knows a lot! But i do like them

Aquasoil absorbs nutrients from the water. That's how it sort of recharges itself. Putting a sand cap on it can inhibit or block that process.
None of the plants you listed are particularly high tech. I'm a low tech guy too. Which means that aqua soil isn't really necessary for them. Sand with root tabs would work just fine and also be suitable for corys.
