I've never used sand as a substrate, but i have heard it is not the best substrate for plants.

I've never had a planted tank, so don;t take this word for word but wouldn't sand be bad because nothing gets through it because its so fine, wouldn't the plants not get enough nutrients?

Sand is not bad for a planted tank *LOL*

I have sand in mine and the plants grow beautifully in it. I do have under the plain sand layer a layer of sand/JBL AquaBasis for the plant roots. But all together the both layers are sand consistancy

I've also done a full sand tank, nothing special in the substrate
