I just recently got back into this hobby, and i BEGGED my parents to get me a 20-36 gal tank (I'm only 13 and i only work for 3 hours a day, $5 and hour, broke.) and they said that if I want a 36 gal then I'll have to prove that I will stick with the fish tank for at least 6 months. So we dug up my old 5 gal tank, and I have 3 guppies. In total, I've spent about $40. I thought it was a little much for 3 guppies, but after seeing what some people spend, I feel like a cheapskate
(suffering from MTS, but i control it with the thought that I'm broke )

Hi ryan, its not waterproof. it is kind of open at the back which lets the heat and evaporation out of it so that is doesn't sit and rot the hood. it has really good air circulation. I am really happy with it. my wife at first thought it was a waste of money but now she is really impressed with it and how much of a feature it is in the house. Every time someone new comes over and has not seen it she has to show them it.

 

[barterking85]

Wheelz now instead of my tank its our tank right? lol

 

[Cartosbartos]

not much $430 for the tank and the whole set up including fish and heaters, test kits etc $70 on features and $97 on fish, so close to $600 at the moment !

 

[MBliss81]

I added it up the other day and since Feb 16, when I got my tank, I'm into it over $1k now. It adds up fast!

Multiple Tank Syndrome, a very serious disease that afflicts those of us in the aquaria hobby.

Symptoms include greeness from envy, a need to top everyone else's tanks. And most commonly and the name for the disease - an uncurable need to have more tanks... more and more and more tanks..

There are no known treatments except to fulfill your desires and buy more tanks

Oh my god! That's funny...and now that I think of how much money i have invested...it makes me cringe! Only about 400 bucks, but when your unemployed, boy does it hurt! Haha

Yeah that's it!

 

[Aquachic4545]

Argh...I charged more on my credit card bill! I charged more!!!

Sigh. Mother's day came around and I upgraded the horrible Marina slim filter on my mini-five gallon to a Aqua Clear 30. I decided my mom's Betta deserved better filtration with an adjustable flow knob (and it's my mom's gift) and my GOD....with the added ChemiPure Elite in the little basket - the water now looks like a mirror!

Sigh...don't look at the credit card bill...no looking....

Oh, did I mention my mommy is really, really happy now?
