Potting compost mixed with sand bottom layer(1 part sand, 1 part compost(wet/damp the sand first)), middle layer sand(lay it wet/damp)( To seal the first layer from the top layer and tank water), top layer gravel. You may get some green water depending on the compost and if it leachs through the two top layers, but you will not need any fert or trace elements. The green water will not do any harm to your plants or fish just do your water changes as normal and it will clear.
