| I brought the new tank home and..
I didn't get kicked out lol...This tank is awesome! OMG I am so pleased with it...Steve has been helping me get it ready...We have it out back right now making sure there are no leaks...I have a fabulous filter on it and I'm just darned excited! What a deal I got on this one! It seperates into 14 seperate houses which will be perfect for raising babies up...(did I say that) lol...
Here is my new tank...Steve is showing a great interest in the fish right now and I am one happy camper! I thought he'd be mad at me but he said it is a really nice looking tank Karen...   |

| Each section without the center dividers is 5.25 gallons...I haven't figured out how big the sections are with the extra dividers but they don't look that small....
Now Shawnie...Don't get me wrong, Steve did tell me I have problems and that I am obssessed lol...I said, yes I am and so are you with your 20 guitars and your sports addiction lol... | |

| that tank is amazing -- I am sooooo jealous. My hubby just told me I shouldn't get any more fish until one of mine dies which is just mean. 
Meanwhile, I'm tripping over HIS guitars, guns and motorcycle every time I turn around. What is wrong with this picture? How many of us fish addicts have you got room for, Karen?

| OK, here is what my plan is.....If everything goes well this is how I'll be using it.....If my breeding adventure doesn't pan out I'll remove the center dividers and it will become 6 large seperated tanks for 6 males.....Basically a Show tank...
The flow through the sections is good but a gentle flow so it will be good for young betta babies around 2 months old....Until that point they will have to be jarred and yes I have already started my collection of Mason jars lol I'm also buying sponge filters..... | |

It is for a project that could make money sooo...that's what got Ty, my bf's attention for my plans.
Nothing wrong with having obsessions as long as you aren't stocking (I mean stalking) or harassing anyone. It's all good.  | |

| Ok another senior moment! I was only seeing the side to side dividers and not the front to back dividers. I have been staring at it forever trying to figure out how everybody was seeing so many separate spaces.Carol Nice tank | |

| Something has happened to Steve.....He has been making stuff for the tank all morning lol....He went and got a top for it and is begging me to set it up....He keeps saying this is fun doing this together.....This is seriously blowing my mind....I wonder if he's been a bad boy! Either that or he is really liking living here alone with just Lil O'l me lol | |

When I am not happy he knows it and doesn't want to deal with it.
I was one of those spoiled brats growing up, ya know the ones who expected her parents to get her what she wanted, when she wanted it.
SO I think I may give off that same vibe when I want something now as an almost 37 year old woman.  But no slamming doors if I don't get my own way.  | |

| That is soooo cool that Steve's helping so much with the tank! What kind of top did he get? I think it was Rose who suggested a glass top with a long hanging light over it, which I thought was a lovely idea.
Sounds like you're getting more and more serious about breeding! I hope you go for it. You could be so successful and make such fantastic babies. | |

| Well it is a lovely tank and you can have a lot of great babies in there. Good luck on whatever you plan with it. It sounds great! And it always helps to have a helpful hubby.
