Some more pics.
This tank was a whopping $200 bucks. A local had broken it so I pulled it apart and replaced the broken glass. Glass panel, silicone, refinishing the stand and plumbing came out to 196 bucks. Its been up since August and the livestock was moved over from my 120

Moved into the house being feline tested
