Hey Carlos,
Dirt substrate tanks will do you better in the long run, they provide loads of nutrients for the plants, but its just a lot more work to start off with.
Have you watched any videos about dirt tank conversions? I have a video series showing what to do, first video here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd2f5RzPwSo&feature=channel_vide....
I would also highly recommend that you visit the FAQ, http://fishtanktv.com/page/faq, and read this article about dirt tank conversions, it will contain all the info that you need. http://fishtanktv.com/forum/topics/dirt-convert-how-to-set-up-you
You should be able to get the miracle grow organic soil from your local garden centre, you may have to shop around depending on where you live. And Fluval have recently come out with the Flora Mini CO2 system. Its dirt cheap 'pardon the pun', but it is best for use in a small tank. You can even use a fire extinguisher if you need a lot of CO2.
Any more questions just ask,
Chris.
