Everyone has been asking me about the newly repaired tank, if it has been set up, when am I going to reveal the latest aquascaping, etc. The tank is empty, just as it arrived. After waiting patiently for months for the rebuilt tank to arrive, I was very excited when I got notification that it was going to deliver soon.
