Happy New Year!

Just a quick update to close 2009. No real problems to report with my 50 gallon. Alot of the equipment really needed an update, sooooooooooooo.......... NEW TANK! I decided that my beloved freshwater community tank needed a desperate update, with the rim falling off, the stand being scratched away by my cat, the heater completely broken, and the silicone peeling off. I went down to my local fish store (who were having their annual boxing week sale) and picked myself up a 65 gallon aquarium (36Wx18Lx22H), a really nice stingray stand, an Eheim Classic canister filter, a heater (if it gives off heat, does it really matter which type you get?), 75lbs of river gravel, and the store was generous enough to throw in a glass canopy and a deluxe flourescent fixture. Im getting my basement renovated so its not going to be set up just set, but ill be sure to post some pics as soon as it is up and running. Hope everybody had a merry Christmas and wishing you all a happy new year in 2010!
