Indeed. There are a lot of options, much more than I even knew! But as a beginner I think I'll do the sand and use low light plants. One day, when I acquire more tank-wisdom, I definitely want to try the soil layered and get some plants that aren't strictly low-light. Even though the anubias seem to be relatively native to the area of ACFs, some variety would eventually be good.

But again(I think!) thanks for the idea and for giving me a good starting ground on starting a new project/aquarium.
