Can I use organic soil topped with play sand for a planted fish tank?

I am using a 30 gallon (30L" x 12W" x 18H")

I am planning on putting some Cabomba Purple (Cabomba pulcherrima), Bacopa australis (Bacopa australis), Dwarf Hairgrass (Eleocharis acicularis ), Java Moss (Vesicularia Dubyana), and Red Melon Sword (Echinodorus Barthii v. "red melon") along with a moss ball and possibly a couple of dwarf onion plants I already have from another tank. I plan on getting a piece of driftwood for my moss.

I plan on having cory cats, ottos, shrimp, a rupper-lip pleco, possibly some type of snail, and guppies
