Default noirsphynx's 10g//UPDATED PICS PAGE 8

This tank is going to remain very basic as I'm fairly new to the hobby. This is more about the fun of it. I'm going to try a mushroom themed tank.

That was a funny......right?

You wouldn't believe how many people don't know there's cats born bald. Sometimes it's quite funny trying to convice them. I once had a solicitor knock at my door(I wasn't home) and Rocko just happened to be sitting in the window. I heard later from several neighbours that this guy would say "did you know your neighbour shaves their cat" Every one of them told him different but he refused to believe it. Still makes me laugh.

Yeah, I have seen those cats before...some of the reefmembers have them...still a strange sight though...sort of like the hairless dogs..
something you don't see everyday.

Thanks, that was my intial thought when building it but I wouldn't of had a clue on making one (I'm lucky I was even able to pull off building a stand, lol) but I will be setting up a refugium in the future. Probably not for the contest though.

I changed out the sand for black Tahitian Moon Sand & changed around and added more rock. I'm pleased with this look much, much more than what I had
