Aquarium Advice Freak
Okay, so I really, really, really want my turtle/goldfish tank in my kitchen. I just aquired this tank from a friend on sunday, because he didn't want it anymore (and wasn't taking care if it either. We (my hubby and I) picked up the tank and stuff and set it up in the garage. It had to be really cleaned (it was really let go) and this was a good place to start. Anyway, I want to put it in the house so I can actually enjoy the animals!!!
It is a 50 gallon (like 4' long) , but only have it like a little more than half filled, so the turtle can get out of the water and there is enough water for the goldfish.
My husband says no! I can't moe it to the kitchen, because (these are his really lame reasons):
1. It will smell (it doesn't now, that i have a filter running... duh!)
2. There isn't enough a room ( yeah, whatever.. there is a huge blank wall for it and not in the way either)
3. Not sure how old the tank is and it may break and leak all over the place (the silicone on the tank is not brittle, no cracks and no major scratches.... but it is like maybe 3 or more years old and was housed outside for like a year)
SO, help me!!! I need to persuade him here. I have to win this issue!!! What can I say to convince him, especially when it comes to the tank leaking.
