Well, I just bring the sale up whenever possible, I copied the flyer and put it on his bed, I leave notes, send texts when he's at work. Don't tell her exactly what your going to do. I told my dad I was going to set it up in the next few months. I would tell her it's such a great deal you can't pass up!

And if she collects something or buys a lot of something, bring it up! My dad says you dont need more tanks, I tell him you don't need another set of speakers or a vintage stereo ( collects em lol)

Remember:::**DONT ANNOY THEM OR MAKE THEM YELL. If she says no, dont argue. Just try later. And talk to her when she's in a good mood.

Good luck! You got 17 days!

Lol thanks! My mom says that she doesn't want another tank, but I might be able to talk her into another one. She also says "where would you put it?" And I tell her that I would put it where my betas tanks are right now. That would be a good spot for it, especially if I had a canister filter, because it has cord holes that go to the cabinet below! :) what do I say if she says that it seems like I always want more and more fish stuff. She says why can't I just be satisfied with what I have. But I love fish! It is so fun to set up the tank, watch the fish, and everything! :)

Is the filter running in a tank now?
 
Yup, with an established filter you can add fish very soon, maybe like a a day. If you don't add fish or dose ammonia soon after you add tour established filter to the new tank, the bacteria will die.
