Hi All.

[Sergei]

Hi people iv been recommended here by some people. Basicly iv been looking at a tropical fish tank for quite a while now and been watching this forum. Iv been keeping pond fish of different sorts and sizes for about 6-8 years, but i still have lots of questions for the experts.

Today i bought a corner tank (2nd hand, was a bargin) Iv checked it all and doesnt seem to leak etc. I got some stuff with it but i think im just going to use the tank and start afresh. Now First question is it possiable to buy seperate mouldings for tanks. ie atm the tank has a black plastic moulding on the top and bottom. I was looking at something newer maybe a wooden look? Second question am i right in thinking it is possiable to have sand rather than gravel in a tropical tank?

thanx all and hello

Hi Brad and to TFF!

Don't know about the mouldings, sorry.

Yep, sand is commonly used in tropical aquariums. In fact, we did a poll recently and more people prefer sand than gravel.

I am sure you'll enjoy it here!
