jetajockey said:An inert sand with root tabs does work, but it's not the best. A substrate with high CEC is your best bet as it has the ability to retain nutrients much better than just quartz sand. The clay in root tabs does help with this, and it's enough to grow plants, but if you notice most heavily planted setups are not basic sand with root tabs.
