JasonJones Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Tommy, the tank looks great. I really like the rock. Can you take a video or picture from the end. I am contemplating a tank exactly the same size and want to see if the 30" width will be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
