The Hill Top Tank

[AK47]

Decided to start keeping track of the tank, still only about a year old. Nothing amazing yet, but it's ours!

10 Gal. in the beginning 2015

5/20016 Moved and upgraded to 40 gal. A few losses and a few new players on the set!

8/2016 After another move. Less losses than last move and some more additions!!

The tank is looking great! I'm sorry about the nem though. He looked really good on the 20th!
