Default The Halloween Tree

I don't remember what prompted me to start on this, but I had a spare 45 gal show tank lying around that I wanted to put to use. The idea is a Tim Burton/Lord of the RIngs style tree trunk. Something kinda spooky. I won't go into too much detail, but I have a few surprises that will be added later. As always, suggestions and comments welcome.
