Due to space, I wasn't able to get anything bigger than a 29 gal. But, I got a brand new one today that came with everything, including a heater! I also got natural sand and driftwood that is currently soaking 
Current tank water is going into buckets and will get put in the new tank. I got Prime as well. I'll be getting some plants tomorrow when they get their new shipment in

Anyone know how long before I can put fish in? I have 2 filters running for 70 gal load. My fish are in 2 gal of water in the old tank, being eyeballed by the cat lol
The fish are in! Tank is clearing up nicely. The 3 little piggies are just the happiest I have ever seen them! They just love the sand and it's fun seeing them digging into it. Beamer took a lap around then went into her stump to sleep. Even the shrimp are having a blast swimming around and digging in sand. Can't wait to get plants tomorrow and get the driftwood in there
Awesome! I'm guessing you didn't rinse the sand first? 
Everyone will love having more room to roam!

Well pooh, was I supposed to? I know rocks I did, I didn't know to do that with sand too... It's clearing up, still cloudy but I can see through the whole tank now. Not red anymore
Noted for the next upgrade
It' clearing up nicely. The way all of them kick up the sand, not sure I'll ever have a clear tank though lol
Yeah, it's not the end of the world but if you rinse it first you won't get nearly as much cloudiness.
