New tank.

I got me, or more accurately my fish, a new tank. See, my old one was this tiny little 10gallon or roughly 35L, and that's not really enough for the fish I have to live full and comfortable lives, that and the temperature in the tank these past few days skyrocketed with the heat wave that hit.
So in an attempt to provide a more livable environ for these critters, I went out and got me a 3ft 150L tank.
A nice big thing,  but I'd class it as a medium sized home aquarium. I am extremely unlikely to upgrade to anything larger unless I upgrade my own living space first, as there simply wont be room, and transporting anything larger would become a large issue. Largely.
New tank.

Still rather murky, dust and such from the gravel. That should filter out over the next few days. I'm planing to leave it running for a week or so to accumulate the bacteria needed to break down ammonia and nitrite. I hope to have it up with fish and possibly live plants in a few weeks. Then I might think about more fish.
