Everything on the counter, ends up on the floor...he pushes it all off.... he attacks feet of guests only, he terrorizes the dog, all fridge magnets and art end up on the floor, he eats anything and everything, if you go outside or he can't find you he screams until YOU find him (and you were never lost), he darts out the door in the blink of an eye, he knocks over ANYTHING with liquid in it, he has a skill at killing small fish in nano tanks that don't have a lid on them, he wants in the shower WITH YOU, he walks all over the counters, and table, he will pick up things like earrings and keys or anything he can carry and take them, NOTHING is safe with "Niks" around!

Built a stand yesterday....a bit deeper than needed so that none of the plumbing would be visible as we drilled out the back of the tank.....even though we don't include this as part of our budget...this was soooo cheap to build. It took us 3.5 hour max and cost us $41.33 for all the wood....I had the nails, glue, hinges and door handle (not on until it's stained)...so it can be cheap to build your own! The stands I was looking at were for a 10g and were anywhere from $100.00-$150.00 for a finished cabinet stand...now I just gotta stain it!

Your "Alien Invader" looks like it needs a hug.

The stand looks really nice! I wish I had that skill!

Why don't I send the alien to your house for that hug? (ha ha ha)
