haha my wife made me promise when we buy this house no tanks in the garage! To be honest i agree, my kids would never see me...plus whats the point of keeping such awesome fish if you cant enjoy them especially when you have 4-5k in fish haha. I love her, her advise was just get the biggest tank we can fit confortably in the livingroom even if you have to tear a wall down! I always say family first fish second. Currently have a240 in the livingroom with a coule monsters in it and a 150 pleco tank in the bedroom. So i guess id say LIVINGROOM guy!
