Guys use something else as a reference please,like a pencil or something more common.Not everyone can tell the size of tanks.Some look bigger or smaller than they really are.

ok here's mine, i think. I'm not sold on it yet but while rummaging I came up with two things. One actually has about the same, if not smaller volume as Kays and I'm just not sure if I'm up to that challenge yet, so we'll see. But for now, give me your thoughts on this one





It's an old sugar bowl i never use

looks cute summer! But just remember, the smaller the tank, the more of a pain it is to work with...which is why I'm keeping my plan as simple as possible
