Gotta Love Your Moms

[mark2109111]

MY mom is the best !!!! For x-mas i got a pressurized co2 system for my 55 which is awesome. But my mom remembered that when we took a trip to my lfs i commented on how much i liked the layout of a 15gal breeder (57 liter for the fish keepers from the UK). So she got me a 15gallon setup for Christmas i am so happy. I didn't even ask for it because i thought it was a bit much on-top if my other requests but she decided that i could get it anyway. She said that she wants to see what ill put in it. Anyone else wake up to a great surprise on Christmas ?

Thats awesome!

Huh. Not fair. I can't get a 3rd tank because "it's too much work, time, and electricity." I did get an xbox though . I didn't ask for one but I did ask for 3 more tanks. I got no tanks.

 

[XeroTolerance]

If I got a new tank I wouldn't have any place to put it though.

 

[Man of fish]

I've got too much space. Except for the fact I wanna put my old bunk beds in storage and turn my room into like an ultimate game/hangout/fish room then sleep in my other bedroom across the hall.

 

[XeroTolerance]

All I have is a place on my dresser. If I purchased a stand then the possibilities are endless.

 

[Man of fish]

I can build myself anything. Plywood everywhere.

 

[XeroTolerance]

Awesome! I would be worried if it would be able to hold the tank though. Im not a very good carpenter.

 

[Man of fish]

I'm not either but my only concern would be looks. I can make it sturdy, may just be ugly. I wouldn't put anything over 15-20 gallons on whatever I make though

Jeez! Sounds like you had a nice Christmas!

And ok ok i dont mean to highjack your thread but ive been dieing to tell since you asked if anyone else got a nice suprise! Not only did i receive subscriptions to my favorite fish magazine and a bunch of fish books, but the main highlight was my new RO/DI unit!!!! AAAAH! I almost died when i pulled the DI unit out of the abyss of packing peanuts!

Now i can get going on my saltwater tank and lower the ph of my 65g with mixing the ro/di water in! BEST. CHRISTMAS. EVER.

 

[XeroTolerance]

Awesome!

 

[Man of fish]

No fair!!! Everyone is getting fishy stuff but me all I got was petsmart and petco giftcards (that are fish related at least) maybe I'll buy my own new tank. Humph.

 

[XeroTolerance]

I'm happy because I just found out that they are opening a PetSuppliesPlus near me. Besides that I just have a Petsmart I hope that it will have different fish!
