ive done just fell off my rocker

We got the new tank...ANOTHER 75 gal for the africans(THANKS JONAH!!!) he lives in another country, and by his hard work and enabling skillz, he found this tank right up the road from me LOL ....now mind you, my lil adorable home is 980 sq ft total!!

this will be the 2nd 75 gal to go with a 55gal. 30 gal, 20 gal long, 2-20 gal , 3- 10's and 2-5gals...(ive switched alot around since recieving my betta kids...so much for downsizing )..I like seeing beginning to end pics when I get a new tank...I know im a fish geek!

If my wife starts reading this site, I'll be banned from the computer!
