if you want plants sand is a big NO NO, the roots have more trouble growing, id suggest a fine gravel, your choice of color of course, i would choose black, and click the link below and find deluxe decorator kit #1,I have heard great things from this site, you can have a planted tank with driftwood for 47.00$ and the package is rated for 29g tanks.

I'm Considering this package and maybe two bags of flourite
 
OK, for $100 and the size of your tank. . .without knowing your planted tank experience. . .
I would get SoilMaster Select Charcoal for the substrate. I picked up a 50 pound bag for $11. That leaves you with $89. Then, I would head over to this site and get the "Hard to Kill" package. It costs $46.38 + SH (I guess about $10). So that is 56.38 + 11 = 67.38. Let's say $68. Now you have your plants & substrate. You have $32 left. You can invest that in lighting (AH Supply is probably the best option out there) or CO2 or fish or a good filter or. . .whatever you want.

Of course you could get one their other plant packages for a little bit more $$ if you have the lighting and co2 etc. to handle it.

But you dont get any driftwood, and driftwood alone for a smaller peice is around 40-50$

Oh man...just take a walk to a local creek or river. Find said driftwood (hardwood only) for absolutely free and scrub and boil it in a pot for a couple of hours or until the wood stops turning the water into soup...viola! Not everything that you use in your aquarium has to come from a store.

Here is a good article outlining the specifics- http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/management/Haupenthal_Driftwood.html

I thank you all for turning my thread into yet another "im right you're wrong!" topic.
 
the guy is asking about plants and substarte for his tank. he is NOT asking for another "your wrong i'm right" argument. So before this gets ugly and recuires a mod quit arguing.

Your plans of that package are good but i would sugest one of the eco complets.
