Where did you find your wife? My fiancee would go mental if i had that many tanks on the go!

Ditto that one Robbie:lol::lol::lol:

I got hold of 12 small tanks last week (being thrown out by my place of work) and I had to hide them in my garage - but my wife found them - DOH!

My wife calls me a fish tank anorak:mad:

But here is the last laugh - her son desperately wants a tank in his room for an axolotyl that his school is giving away:lol::lol::lol:. Now we have another anorak in the family:wink:

Steve.

Thanks Guys

What she does not yet know, is that I am planning on adding a foot to the big tank, and putting the 5ft in the garage to grow on some koi fry with all the left over kit you always seem to accumulate.

Ha Ha sshh

Nice One, Youre problem is youre not really obviously devoting enough time to your hobby.:cheesy:

Four Tanks ! Im at two, and even then I am constantly being told by my GF that no one else would put up with me, wait till she sees the new main tank.

Chris , Ya gotta get some pics up of your tanks, love to see them :biggrin:


Cheers

Nice one Chris ! you must work at home ??

I had similiar amounts of tropical tanks when i worked from home, now I work in london (live nr oxford) so i dont have much time to do all those water changes. SO i am no down to the reef tank and a smaller tank for puffers (and a bio-orb for the goldfish :biggrin:)

its nice walk round the house now and not hear water running in everyroom though :lol:

keep it up !!

Nick.
