When I got up to 10 tanks, it was a bit excessive, and I'm broke because of my fish, but no real trouble

For me, the hobby keeps me out of trouble.

The reason I got into fish keeping in the first place was to give me something
to do while I was trying to clean up my bad lifestyle and get sober. I had a pretty
rough past. So I replaced a habit with a habit. So after I got out of rehab, I jumped right in.
I'm 4 years clean thanks to this hobby.

So whenever a friend or a relative brings up how obsessed I am with my fish tanks
I say, " You're right. I think I'm gunnu sell it all. Then I can buy that 5lb crack rock I've always wanted."
Thats an awesome story man, well just goes to show you, i skateboard too its been my life long hobby, so now im balancing it with my fish keeping hobby. My Mum and Sister never stop telling me how crazy and obsessed i am lol, but i know my little o's are growing on them haha. Thanks man :)

I got in trouble tonight LOL

I bought my first house and also bought a stand for my new 150 gallon setup.

my Mom came buy and freaked at how big the stand was LOL

I guess she felt that the 90g I had was already too big..:)

and she hasn't even seen the tank yet...
Haha yeah my fish take up more space than i do too, but my folks are defo coming round, they helped me get my fix by helping me get my most recent tank, however as one f you guys was saying i still get in trouble doing water changes at stupid o'clock lol
