Sand good substrate for plants?

[poly-nomial]

i have 40lbs of ecocomplete at the bottom of the tank and i want to cover that with like 50-70lbs of sand.

Will the sand help keep the Green terror from ripping them out?

Is sand fine for plants?

Which is the best sand for planted tanks?

I think Flourite makes a sand substrate for planted tanks, but I dont think it will keep the GT from digging. Not sure if any substrate will hold up to that...
