My husband already thinks I've lost it.......... after years of telling me "get a hobby" I have, now he says "I never see you any more you're always doing fish things" !!!!

I only started with a house community tank, now I've taken over my husbands shed (well insulated now with heating etc) and have a large 4 foot tank, 4 18x10x10 tanks and numerous other small fry tanks on the go !

As for the amount of money I've spent so far .............!!!!!!!, at least I'm not spending it on on unecessary shoes and clothes now.

Ah well it's only money.

I think we've all got the bug - that's why we find forums like this! Some way of keeping out of the LFS while still filling like we're doing something fishy!!!

I started small and I'm working my way up. Only been in the hobby since february, but I'll be buying my 5th tank in a couple of weeks.

I tried to type that so that it didn't sound like I was an alcoholic at an AA meeting, confessing his sins for the last week but I don't think I really pulled it off. :lol:

LOL! If she says yes, get the tank and when she asks what your doing just add 'it was in the small print, honey!'

Actually maybe not - otherwise that would give her the excuss to do it to you!
