Too soon? :suspect:
Have you tried the upgrade to a slightly bigger tank and then to the next one up? Thats what I did. I started back into the hobby with a 65g breeder then went to a 120g and then to my 210. I also spoke of the need for a hospital tank and started a 29g then a 56g column and then my 72g bow. Of course now I really need a hospital tank so.... working toward my third big tank.
My wife never noticed. :woot:
Awww you guy's spouses are spoil sports!!!! Mine said as long as he can have a mancave I can turn our whole house into a tank XD and we got together when I only had a 15gal....even suggested he would build me a 300 gallon if I did a salt tank (though now he's loving the giant freshwater fish I've shown him XD ) as of this point in time the only rooms that don't have tanks are the dark bathroom, laundry room and the spare bedroom that is only for storing things neatly or otherwise. Of course they're not nearly as big as what most of you are keeping LOL

My wife keeps me balanced and grounded. If she feels strongly about something I generally defer to her as she rarely asks me for anything. So if I'm going to pull it off, I need to present a workable solution in a way that she can fit into her view of the interior of house. Or find a way to fit another tank into the garage... both are easier said than done. And then there's the time aspect - that's even harder to justify.KaraWolf said:
I tried using a sports car purchase as leverage, but she called my bluff. And why is it I married a smart one again?
build a shed with one of those space heaters or do a rack system. ack no rolling head guy smily joking!!!!! No I see where she's coming from completely......I feel bad but I have to do the same thing to my husband all the time cause he likes to ask for animals but...we have no more room right now and he needs to learn how to propperly care for the first two he has before he can have more and as much as I would LOVE a cat which he makes me feel bad about saying no to, our dog is still too excitable and tiny house is no room for both- I can just see the chase games at midnight right now.....0.o
Us smart ladies are good for something XP

Hehe, that made me laugh.KaraWolf said:build a shed with one of those space heaters or do a rack system. ack no rolling head guy smily

I haven't given up yet. I do need to clean out the garage... You know, I've never had good luck with platys either. I got three red wag platys from Tanya in Grand Mound, and they were healthy until they got to adulthood. The male was hit with a sickness, and it took him forever to go. Same thing happened with the females, and then the replacement male we got. It's like something in my water just doesn't agree with them.

Hehe, no, I will not be one of those clogged garage hoarders who can't even fit one car. I have racks all over the ceiling and shelves all over the walls, but I can still fit both cars in the garage.KaraWolf said:bwhahaha XP clean out the garage indeed. Of the car
That said, I've found a place for the 29g and stand in the garage that shouldn't require a lot of work to clear. And a 40 breeder will fit in the spot where the 29 sits in the house currently. As long as I don't take up more room in the house, my wife is a happy camper.
Well, not entirely, but she'll tolerate it. I leveraged the whole "my dad kept swords when I was a kid; I've always wanted to keep them" thing. Now I need to find budget for the project. I may call petco tomorrow and see if they have a 40 available in Olympia with the $1 / gal sale - that's step 1. Then I need to find a stand... and a filter... and a light fixture... and substrate... and a heater. Pocket change, right? :scratch:
