I'm happy for you! I hopped back on to RC and saw your tank and said Holy S*&#! it's Pete's tank!

Much deserved after many hardships. I'm happy to see a TOTM that is 4 miles away from mine

Now to avoid the curse!

You know, if your tank hadn't been the first one Donzi saw in someone's house, he probably wouldn't have been so excited about getting into this hobby

For everyone else, as good as the pics & vids are, this tank is awesome in person!

Thanks rl and feel free to ask me any detailed questions you want on my build log. Speaking of build logs you need to start one, I love the double overflow tank you bought, and what a great stand and canopy. It's going to look great.
