hahaha you could go into business selling xbox nano reefs!
-----------------
Thats pretty a pretty neat idea though, if I ever kept any of my xboxs before switching to ps3 that would be a neat little build

Is the background a huge layer of epoxy? Just noticed the fish in there too!

I've sent my 360 in 3 times for the RRoD. Now it's only used as the world's loudest dvd player.

I have about 2500 hours of time with my playstation on.... and she still runs like a champ. Only reason I know that is because of the amount booked time I have on CoD... its a sad life

I mostly like the florida ric's that this tank has, so cool

The back is a piece of acrylic with all of the coral epoxied on. Spencer is was planning on letting nature take its course and have some of those ric's and zoas spread out
