  Zach,

  My first advice would be to grow them in individual pots within your
10-gallon tank. If you really want to fill the tank with soil, rocks on
the bottom is not a bad idea(lava rock is good). I think course
horticultural charcoal would be better. It depends upon the species as
to what soil. Live sphagnum would be great, since it won't go sour. LF
sphagnum would work by itself, or as a top dressing for a peat/sand mix
or peat/perlite mix.
