A Horrible Addiction. Worse Than Drugs.

"Hi. I'm Phil and I'm an addict"

I can't believe myself at times. I'm already waiting on a replacement 225 for the exploded 285. I'm busy completing the set up of a 210 (plumbing/support), 3x 80 longs (stacked racks), a 275 (stand finishing), a 350 (stand welding/painting/center supports), and a 360 (bottom bulkhead hole filling). Not to mention continued maintenance on over 100 other tanks. Yet, with all this in the works, I went ahead and ordered another tank today (365 gallons).
Definitely in need of an intervention (and another welder).

Phil, I feel your pain but where do you find the cash for all the new ones? I ran out of money after the 8th tank.

Well sir, then this is no addiction for you. This is your lifestyle. Congrats on the well planned financial status. So if you will excuse me, Im going to go jump off a bridge now.

Phil, drugs are much worse. Fish might suck your money out of the bank, but at least you wear deoderant, you don't wear hemp, and you're not a skinny loser.

It don’t get any better I was talking to a mate last week about how my tropical pond is much to small and when I build the next one. I looked over at my wife who had a look of shear horror on her face “Fish destroy the lives of millions” stop looking at those tanks oddball! go and have a cold shower and wipe your self down with a copy of Practical fish keeper .
