i'm loving the tank, i wish i had room for one this size
hey now im not the youngest person in the hobby ive herd of

well heck I thought I was one of the youngest for a while. I started when I was 17. had to take it down due to how expensive it was. I am still waiting to set up another one. I got all my equipment, but I know I will be spending another 400 when it's together.
