You can do that but if you want a true vivarium try this.
2-3" of aquarium rock for drainage.
2" of coco-fibre or other substrate to plant the plants in.
Top it all off with sphagnum moss and leaf litter.
Seed it with springtails.
Put in seed pods and other hiding spots.
Darts will be very happy.
This setup will take care of itself and you won't have to clean it.
This sounds like a lot but it is really basic.
Look at my albums and others as well for pics of various setups.
