I used ordinary 3cm potting mix capped with 5cm fine sand in my 160L with good success. And my cories love the sand.

what plant substrate to use
in Aquatic Plants

Definately use some nutrient rich substrate. You can try buy some organic potting mix(no added ferts) and wash them for a few times. (add water, let dirt settle, remove water, repeat)
now put the washed dirt at the bottom of your tank(3-4cm), (some people add some red clay for extra iron), then Cap it with your fine gravel. plants will grow like crazy!
