As I spend more time with my Hog I realize he does like to climb (I got him about two weeks ago from a friend) so I already had the T8 ordered (yes its 12") since it was a spur of the moment "rescue".
When I move on my own and have more money I wouldn't mind getting him a taller tank.
I appreciate the input and being cool with me copying! I like how its very clean looking while also being useful. As for putting your royal in there, that's a good idea but if yours is anything like mine, it will fall off so frequently in the first week it will smack itself half simple lol.
