Plant Substrates

[-Nemo-]

I'm planning on moving up to a 20 Gallon tank with live plants (I'm way too excited)
I want to have some sort of plant substrate, then put sand on top of that. Can anyone recommend some plant substrates? I'm only going to be having low to medium lighting level plants. (most likely just low leveled)

You should get good results with any of the substrates listed below. These are complete substrates ie, no gravel or sand is required on top:

This next list is for a substrate additive, which you can cover with an inert substrate of your choice:

Hope this helps, Dave.

PS Do you intend to upgrade your lighting, add CO2 etc?
