Ok, so here's the obligatory empty shot... Sorry, I tried to get pepper into the tank... But we realized she couldn't even wear it as a hat

Thus I bribed her with a milkbone to pose...
Entry fee paypal'd to JD at some ungodly hour of the morning...
Spent first $ on the project today... On a nice new 5.5g AGA to save me cleaning an old one up; Then I went down to Elite, begged pleaded and groveled with Colby - He'll be "rebuilding" the AGA in 1/4" glass (see first picture) and adding a eurobrace (I spent the night with nightmares about slosh - 2.5g test tank didn't reassure me - thus the last minute addition), we agreed to
60$, ETA 10 days.
So 190$ left... Luckily, this is where I budgeted to be at this point...
