Looking for a cheap substrate...

[skinz180189]

I'm buying a 40litre tank for breeding this weekend, and am wondering what substrate I can get hold of that's fairly cheap?
Whatever substrate will get topped with black gravel. I'm just after something that will help the plants, rather than banging them straight into gravel.

Zooplus - what a joke. They don't accept Visa debit cards.

erm,
visa is visa dude, it does not matter is its debit or credit.
I've used them in the past and i dont have credit cards!

Cool, didn't think it had gone through as it never confirmed, but have an email saying my order is placed so guess I've got some!
