Today I stopped at a LFS thats slightly not-local (its about 25 minutes away).. I havent been to this specific LFS in a few years.

Well, I went in today and some young (and quite handsome btw) 20 something clerk starts following me around asking me questions about my setup, suggestions etc. He lead me over to the tank set ups. I casted my eye on a 38 gallon tall with a oak canopy and oak stand. The canopy was $50, the stand was $85, and the tank was $75. I WANT IT!!!!

Problem is, I just got my 29g the way I like it, and its relatively new to me (I bought it Jan 17th 2010). Is this the "MTS" everybody talks about?! The disease among aquarist?

The big question is: Do I buy the 38g and put it downstairs? Or do I put it upstairs, and sell the 29g setup on craigslist? Am I the only one with this problem? lol.

Buy it and keep both!!!

You are not the only one, I have 4 tanks.

Buy it, thats a good deal.

Welcome to the MTS club, be proud!

Buy the 38g and send the 29g to me!

I've gone 3g -> 10g -> 20L -> 29g -> 5g & 29g -> 5g, 20L, 29g -> ???

I've got three tanks now, one huge one waiting for a place to be set up, and plans for a couple more. There's always one more fish I want that I don't have room for.

and when bigjim gets that 29g you send him, he's going to send me his monster 10' tank

It is in fact MTS.
There is a prescription for MTS.. It's called, Stay away from LFS... Haha!
You just gotta know when to say "enough"... I had 4 tanks running before I told myself that Enough was Enough.. Now I'm back down to 2.

Very true... But lately, she's been the one talking about adding more fish.. "Just add Fish" she says.. Don't worry about what goes with what, or overcrowding.. haha!

Fat chance. When my wife and I are looking at houses, finding a place for that big tank is a major consideration.

Maybe in some cases. My wife is the driving force behind needing more tanks. She wants more room for more pretty bettas and guppies and whatever other fish she happens to like when we go to the LFS.
