Very true, but then again im not picky on the tank itself, as long as it holds water and you can look into it. Its what inside the tank that counts anyways.

No Im not settling for anyone else......will patiently wait and vibrate with anticipation


so heres a couple more pics of some of the equipment that Ive been gathering.....


Water Blaster 7000, for the return




and some shots of the beast.....just for you Greg

the boss and I were out and about and we decided to play hookey from work and go get my skimmer.....this shot is in the back of my bosses 3/4 tonne Ford




and I barely got the thing in my little "Jimmy" to get it home, the box was freakin massive!!!




once I dragged it in the door I saw why the box is so huge.....its packed pretty darn well




Bubble King SM 300 internal......the king of skimmers....welcomed home with the king of beers (for size reference)
