WOW! I am so glad and super excited that someone (thanks Michael) referred me to this site! If not for reading so many inspirational posts here already (e.g., 50,000 gallon addition-to-house), I probably would have been content with a mere 250 gallons. My obsession is Shubunkin and Sarasa Comets. I don't really just want a pond outside (and wouldn't my fish miss me?!), so now I can learn all about how to make my own "home addition" for some of my favorite "family members"! Hmmm, now I'll probably have to get another job to support my newly upgraded fish habit...oh well, what better way to spend every last cent I have?!
