    Well I got my Tonga home, and set up the boiler.

    Boiled it for about 15 min.

    Seems wrong to boil expensive stuff you pay for because its live, but still not worth compromising the tank.

    It fit absolutely perfect. Hell of a guess at the store. It kinda sticks out like a sore thumb (No pun T-Belt) So now just have to wait for it to color up.
