I like the sand in the one tank is sand harder to maintain then gravel? Anywho I want to get a simple tank maybe something like 6-10 gallons.

tips:
The bigger the tank the better.
Have a filter that filters the tank 8-10+ times and hour.
heater = 3watts per gallon
Water conditioner
2-3 inches of gravel or sand of your choice.
some type of cover with light
Basic water test kit (for ammonia, nitrite, ph)
Water syphon
just basics.
