[jolson10450]

bill. the bubble tip looks amazing! where did you get it =) :secret2:

[jolson10450]

oh and just a tip for you. if you can fit your heater in your back chamber them put it back there. itll make your tank look so much nicer!

[bigbill]

yea no room back there but bye the pump and dident think it was a good idea to put it back there our i would

[jolson10450]

looks good though! sucks u cant fit it back there. try and trade it for a shorter one lol. i got a tetra 50w one that is only like 4 nches long and i have that in my 5.5g mantis tank but idk if something that short would even fit.

[demonclownfish]

looks really great bill! get some more coral in there :)

If you really want to have some fun, add a Pistol Shrimp in there. He'll become best buds with your YWG.

Otherwise, great shots!
