I use Wickes sterilised topsoil, Daniel. I’m sure Gordon will correct me if I’m wrong but I think a gravelly substrate is better for them to reproduce the sandy, stony environment they would live in naturally. It warms up quickly and doesn’t develop mould spores.
Pond liner is easily bought from garden stores, aquatic centres or online or cheap lino/vinyl to line the bottom of the table. I got vinyl offcuts very cheaply and they’re easily cut to size.
