Well I've been working on the area where the tank is going. What a job this is going to be. I have a ton of stuff to get out of the way and a ton of building to do. It's going to be a heck of a project but that's what I live for.

How fun! My husband is the same way when it comes to building....my house keeps on getting bigger every year!

I'm not complaining as every new wall fills my head with visions of even more tanks.

I think I should just build a fish room and be done with it...lol

Yeah I went through that phase too. I had tanks everywhere. My wife wasn't all that pleased either. I've scaled back to 3 tanks. The SW w/55g prop tank, a 55g FW planted tank and a 10g tank with a very naughty fish in it. When the 210 gets here and is set up we will be down to just that tank. I'm getting rid of all the rest. One tank and only one tank.

Oh wow. I can see the appeal of having just one to take care of, I have had a tank for years but this last year was the first time that I got more than one...and it's like I can't stop myself...I think MTS really is a disease.

Wow, I'm waiting for that phase. I again mentioned how nice it would be to have room for another tank......the vein in the side of my husband's neck started pulsing (that usually means NO

) ......although my son only has one more year left in college....I could bargain with his room.....

LOL I've been through the 12 step program for it. You have to spend 7 days in the desert with no water. It sucks

**Ziggy953** · 03-21-2008, 07:13 PM

LOL...Boot the kid to the street and take over his room. I love it!!! Mine has a long way to go before I get his room back. He is only 2.5 years old. Of course he loves the tank too so we could probably gang up on mom and build an addition to the house for more tanks.....Just kidding...We are dropping down to one in preperation of building a house with a monster tank in it. The 210 will be practice and room for the fish and corals to grow for the much larger tank we will be putting in the house we build.

Well I was bored tonight so I thought I would take a few more pics of the tank. Some of these are with flash and some are with out. The ones without flash are under actinic lighting only. I thought they looked pretty cool so here we go.
