How Do You Keep Yourself From Buying Another Tank?
- Thread starter FishGoneWild
- Start date
I tell my wife what I plan on doing and she quickly gives me that look like Do it and you can sleep with your fish!
My wife,she tinks every house shuld have only 1 fish tank, so ill be upgrading from a 55 gal to a 300 gal in the next 2 months
Money and time...
But I've been considering getting rid of my ten so I can get a 30 for my brother.
But I've been considering getting rid of my ten so I can get a 30 for my brother.
so here is how my obsession started back up.
I was stressed, my wife says you should get a tank, that always calmed you down in the past.
I went out and bought a 16g bow front.
Bought cons which had fry, she then said why are they eating them? I said we need to move the fry, she said ok go get a 20-30 g. She took a nap and I bought an 85g. I took up the 5 foot space in the hallway, she wasn't very happy buy got over it. This all started in October by the way.
So for xmas i ask for a fluval and a heater to set the tank up. Instead of buying more smaller tanks for the babies I bought them floating breeders. Xmas is right around the corner and I go out and buy a 75g for my home office, she is at this point getting upset but i tell her with the purchase of the 75g im no longer happy with the 85g and will sell that.
Fast forward to last Tuesday, i went out for a haircut and I get a call from someone who Id been working on for a couple of weeks.
Here is how the convo works.
Are you still interested in the 100g?
me= no not really, too pricey...
What if i lowered the price?
me= well ill be blunt, i won't even consider it because I don't have 400$, It's heavy and my back hurts, so if you will accept 100$ ill pick it up tonight.
He says hold up, then says DAD he says 100$ and he will come now! The dad screams back, listen son we are rich, im not moving the damn thing, we can buy you another one!!! So the kid says ok dad says 100$ is ok.
So now my wife is very un-happy.
list is
16g bow
75g wide
85g long
100g big!
I just got an offer on my 85g over the weekend for 440 with a fluval 404, lights, pebble , and pot rock.
Ill sell that, clean up the 100g and sell that, and maybe pick up a 75g or 90g for my office.
How do I stop myself? Im not doing good at it at all, but im running out of money so that should work itself into the process.
And the lack or room is also a problem, i have no wall space for a tank, and no walls to hack up and put one in.
