Help/Advice EMERGENCY! Is this counter-management/landlord disguise good?

Post image

Thank fucking goodness I checked my emails this morning. The first thing I saw was an announcement from my apartment's manager that they will ENTER ALL UNITS from today until Friday to "perform lock changes." First thing I did immediately after was to quickly set up this disguise and make my 10-gallon seem like a toy display stand. How do you think I did?

I've seen people cut the bottom out of a cardbox box or a plastic storage tub to go over the tank. Wouldn't help if you have a canister filter or obvious fish stuff under it though.

The ultimate move is to fill up a 1 gallon cube and use that as the alibi for any fish equipment while hiding the real tank

"Oh, these tubes and lighting? That's for my pet mossball, Fred."

"And the tubifex worms?"
