Default Advice on setting up a new tank with a sand only substrate

I have set up many tanks as sand only and many plants grow fine. But to get
that jungle look I put an inch layer of Aquatic compost (the type used in
ponds) and the plants grow healthy and at a sensible rate and I haven't
suffered an algal bloom.
