One of my good friends, co workers who was let go about 6 months ago(sad)
Anyway he called me earlier just to play catch up, hey how are you, you know small talk, talking about getting the wives together for a night out, maybe catch a game, season ticket holder for Giants.
Well in talking. He has a 125 gallon tank with a stand he just refinished. He said I don't even know why I did it, I'm not gonna use it, it's just that I stare at it everyday so I wanna to do a different stain.
Well... He said I CAN HAVE IT!! Whoo Hoo!! And the filter and heater!! Penguin 400 and some fluval heater. Anyway I have 2 heaters and 2 filters of my own and 2 air pumps, 3 air stones and enough lights to light up Times Square!!
The problem as some of you already know is the wife, it's FREE.99!!! What's better then that?! She call the 55 a MONSTER in the livingroom. Why can't I wait till we get or if we ever get a bigger house. Not gonna happen in this day and age. They already cut my salary! A fire chief! I save people's lives! You can't put a price on that but I guess the mayor feels other wise. (another story)
I really really really want this tank! It's beautiful!! Has the wooden matching hood and he said he would re stain it darker to better go with the room decor an theme my wife had set up. I just don't know what to do. She's no way on board but as you know women are confusing. I can get the sea quest for the bedroom I told her I wouldn't get it and save all that money. She said no, I said the tank is free and I already have what I need to fill it with the exception of maybe some more gravel but I'm good with filters,heaters, and air stones and pumps. I said were all set!
I would have to move a chair and chair side table that her grandmother had given her to another location. Not gonna happen she looked at me like she wanted to kill me!!
I think I'm never gonna get a bigger tank. I'm overstocked with my Africans an really wanted a bigger tank I'd hate to have to bring some back. Was hoping to watch them grow and thrive. I'm mean my friend is willing to just hand it over his wife is thrilled lol.
I don't know what to do. I'm stuck here. I know pick your battles BUT if I get those goldfish with the big bug eyes she's cool with another small tank because she likes those a lot. I said I'd get her a small tank with one and I could get my friends tank. She's like why cant you just get me the goldfish and but him in the tank you have.
I tried to explain the whole thing about not mixing up the fish etc... I gave her one of my books to read. She said she would read it.
