HAHHA ALRIGHT... so I live in a house with 9 other guys, and they partied saturdaynight and they wanted to show their friends the aquarium so they did the "credit-card" slip on the door and yeah, they did it by accident. So no problem with the biocube, its actually really nice.

Hmm... hopefully its not a recurring problem. If it is, I will for sure complain to Oceanic, and I'll tell them that my entire livestock died maybe. LOL. please help
