Flourite doesn't leach nutrients, because it is inert. If you do water column fertilizing the plants will do fine without nutrients in the substrate, even though some might do a bit better with some substrate nutrients. Onyx sand leaches only hardness causing "nutrients", as I recall, which would only be a problem if the fish can't tolerate the higher hardness.
