:shhh: lol. Yes. Honestly it just looks soo...... Clean. Ya know, It's like a tank with personality. I love it. Finally slipped the news to the girl a few days ago about the upgrade... Now I'm stuck Sunday going to the mall with her going shopping because I'm spending more money for my tank so she feels it's ok for her to waste money on cloths now..... Yaaaayyyyy. :screama:
