What excusses have you used on your spouse to upgrade....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I really appreciate your sentiment. Ive actually found a ton of support thru this site on this upgrade. Im sure she'll be cool with it. Just have to find a decent home for it. After all I have the money and the time. I'll encourage her to help me decorate it. She does love my current livestock and set up. Ill keep everyone posted tonight after we talk about makin the trip to pick it up. A 220g with everything...EVERYTHING!
:-) that's a sweet deal if you can get the whole tamale!
 
Alright..its in the works. Considering going from a 90g to a 150g, keeping the 48". Though, could get better if I agree to an addition. Aint up for an addition because Ill be the one building it.
 
Look into a nice custom cabinet - it will look good and give her more storage space. My wife loves the tank these days, even though she was pretty certain I didn't need a bigger tank than the old 135...

I am about to upgrade myself too! How coincidental because I'm upgrading from a 80g to 210g! lol we're off by 10g. At first, she went on a tantrum saying it takes up too much space blah blah blah...But since the tank I'm getting is relatively cheap for its size, I said I will buy you a new handbag. Just that simple, she shut up and said how much? I said equal to the price of my tank $200. She never said a word after and tells me everyday, when is Boo (the smallest, cutest, most personality of my shoal of red belly piranhas, also her favorite) going to get a new home. She also tells me that the tank is over crowded...NO **** SHERLOCK! hahaha anyways.. there goes 400 out the pocket to see my gf, my fishes, and me happy. it is definitely worth it because my shoal can live in there for life! :headbang2
 
I told the old lady that she can't buy more purses without getting rid of one, she thought she was clever and imposed the same rule on fish tanks. Sooner or later she'll get a new purse and im in the clear for a new tank.
 
hmm if I find a tank.... I go out, I buy tank, I bring home, I set up........... I DO WHAT I WANT!!
 
Worked out a deal. Gettin' a 150g 48' . When the kids are off to college next year, I can throw up a 220g. So, in the meantime Im headin out to pick up the 150g this weekend. All worked out.
