A bit tough to pull, and I was worried about the sound vibrations bothering the fish :%)....but I've been meaning to get one to hold my powerheads for quite some time now . ^_^[hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith?

Easy availability makes me clean the glass more often. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
