OK so I have had a 100 gallon tank for many years and done great. Decided to go dirt. Tank was empty so I cleaned it and now i put a 40lb bag miracle grow organic garden soil in. Its about 1 to 2 inches thick. Bought me some river pebbles I like to cover the dirt. Have not placed them in yet. I would like to see if anyone can help me with my plants now. This seems to be very confusing to a beginning dirt tank.I would like a layer of what looks to be grass on bottom. I have seen several with this grass covering and I really like it. I then want to find plants for foreground and such to fill it in. I have a see through rectangle tank in other words can be viewed from both sides. I want plants that are forgiving and versatile until I gain more experience. Water should stay around 72 - 77 where it is placed and no natural light will reach it. I am open to advice suggestions etc. on  type and size of lighting, plants, and any other information shall be appreciated. Oh I wont choose fish until I have plants then I will try to match them

if you want a grass bottom then you need small gravel or sand NOT river pebbles that are anything larger than 5mm.  theyre usually too big and cant hold carpeting plants down.  hopefully others will help out
