More money more problems,ha, more water more problems.
Well i think i have a problem. It started with two oscars in 55. I have had fish since i was little but the oscars started it all. Well the 55 was not enough for both oscars, so next came a 75 for one of them. These two tanks were huge, at the time. Then came a 90 gal. Well from here i built a plywood 240. It seemed so huge, 8 feet of tank! Well it's now in the living room, cycling. It's not even done cycling yet and already it seems small. I swear everytime i walk by it, it gets smaller and smaller. I thought i could have all the fish i wanted with all these tanks. Nope, the fish list just gets bigger. When will it stop!! Does it ever stop?:cry: From the 55 to the 240 in less than a year!
 
No it never stops. I went from a 29 gallon to a 55 to a......

Well now I have a 300, 180, 125, and a 55 and I have given away a few 100+ gallon tanks I just didnt' have the space for.
 
I can kind of relate. I was contempt with a 29 for years and years until I got an Oscar. I then got a 55 gallon for him until he died of old age (I hope). Now I am picking up a 300 tomorrow.

I just hope it doesn't get small on me,LOL.

I saw that tank on ebay. Where do you have to go to pick it up? I really wished I had room for a tank that size. Maybe in the next larger house we buy.
LOL
 
I'm headed out bright and early tomorow monning with my flatbed trailer on a trip to Des Moines.

I feel like a little kid who knows he is going to Disney World tomorrow, LOL.
 
sweet. i also know what you mean bro's. i started with a 40. already a nice tank i thought back then. After years with that tank, finally a 100 came. now im to 150 due to space limitations but indeed, even this tank seems small. a well, gives me something to dream about...
 
When I went shopping for my first tank, I looked at getting a 29. I came home with a 75.
 
Turn on the faucet, plug the drain, and dump 30 gallons of prime on the floor. Leave for 3 days. Add as many fish as you want, enjoy. Be sure to get some waders.
