I appreciate the advice and quick responses. So, sounds like the tank shouldn't be an issue, I guess if you guys had had some bad experiences, it would be better to take it back now than be sorry later, but if not I'll stick with it.
I am still not sure on the sand. I definitely would like a new look and experience. Does anyone else use sand a lot?
Thunderkiss, you said Eclipse hoods stomp? Does that mean you approve or disapprove?
