IM Fusion 30L Cracked

Posted 01/25/2015 at 07:19 PM by Despairodyne

Woke up in the morning to a hairline crack in my IM 30L.

Having much better luck with Petco $1 a gallon tanks.

Damn.

Got out of it for around 12 years and then decided to start keeping some Oscars 2 years ago, now I have this one
