I hear that! People always tell me that my fish need a bigger tank. I reply: It's easy for you to say, you don't have to pay for the supplies or maintain it!

Getting floor support for a 600 gallon tank... lol

no, honestly getting hunting season over (or at least hunting shopping season) so I can get back to my MTS and start getting more tanks, I am going to upsize my 55 to a 75g but my husband does deserve some stuff.

hahah LOL trying to figure out how to make myself and fish happy, that's hilarious cos it's so true, i often i sit and ponder on how i can create an ideal environment for my aquatic freinds

water changes can be a labourious task, especially if you're using the old bucket method.
Even if you use a garden hose, it still takes up alot of time to empty and refill the tank.

Forcing myself to be patient and wait for the best deals money-wise, make sure the systems are stable, etc.

Sam Livingston

Same it's not only stressful for the fish.

Long-term problems: Money

Short-term problem: aquascaping/maintenance. I'm recovering from abdominal surgery, and cannot physically lift my lighting canopy off the tank, so I'm limited to what I can reach through the front opening. I'm a pretty tall guy, but there are still parts of the tank I can't reach and won't be able to reach for a couple of weeks.

MousePotato

Husband, definitely. When will he learn that giving me what I want makes his life easier?

Christian Patti

Mine is finding the time to finish my basement so I can get more tanks. :P

Shawnie

hahahaha if that was the case wouldnt we have a nice cold one and a hot bubble bath waiting for us nightly!

Salvatore

I just wish the darn things can talk to you. This way when they are sick or getting sick you know what to do. I hate when my fish get sick. I think I get Sympathy Sick fir them.

MousePotato

Huzzah, sister! Add a couple of fish tanks to that and I'd be his snuggle bunny every night! If only they'd learn....

Wow, look at the problems people face for doing what they like
