Cracked....




Not Cracked.

If I ever decide to drill a 10G again, someone slap me.. haha.. Such a nerve wrecking thing to do.



Now I need to decide whether or not to de-rim the new tank.. That wasn't much fun the first time either..

So I have been doing some reading, and I think I am going to try and go for a mini hawaiian biotope for my tank. Couple really cool inverts, and fish I hope I can get.

That's my plan anyways. haha

Anymore specifics? Or is that super secret until they're in the tank? I'm so curious!
