No livestock so far as I'm still cycling the tank but I hope to eventually house some pea puffers and try to get some babies!

Congrat to Mick85 on your super cool 18 gallon nicely set up tank. You will soon receive a TOTM Winner banner in your profile area and you will be added to our Tank of the Month Wall of Fame
We have a tie for 2nd place - PorshaF and Sunnyspots both had worthy tanks in the contest. Nicely done, people.
For those who didn't enter or didn't win, be sure to enter a future TOTM contest .
