Aquarium Advice Regular
What is the best substrate to use in a 29g planted tank. Something rather cheap.

rinse the sand or whatever extremely well and many things would work, even pool filter sand. aquarium sand is common and can be cheap, have a look at black sand!
dirt is best for planted, but gravel and sand is ok as far as i know as long as the plants are in their dirt cups. x
