Re-Scaping My Fluval Chi

[fee de mer]

[font="Verdana]I have decided that my project for this summer is to re scape my tank. I have only had the tank a few months but really do not like it so am starting from scratch.[/font][/color]
[color="#222222"][font="Verdana]I am going to keep my current fish which are four corydoras and one siamese fighter , if anyone has any ideas on where to start and/or any photographs of their chi it would be much appreciated.[/font][/color]
I want to use either black sand or black gravel which would you reccomend?
Remember I am literally starting from an empty tank.
[color="#222222"][font="Verdana]Thanks in advance [/font]

I say black sand, sand is always better

Might be a bit expensive though, I'm not sure. I just have Argos play sand

If your in the states, I filled my chi up on 5 lb of petco black sand IMO it looks terrific. If you don't mine me asking, what corys do you have in there and do they really fit? I'd love some city's for my tank but didn't think there were any small enough.

pygmys and yeah they do if they get to big they will be moved into my bigger tank.

[Man of fish]
