Right... These things grow faster than any fish I have ever owned.. But I will be buying a house next summer...WITH A HUGE BASEMENT!! So tired of fighting the cold in the garage plus the house we live in now is a cheap cookie cutter house with an awful electrical system (always tripping breakers) for no good reason... Hate it!! So I'll be looking for a new house and a must is a huge basement I can transform into an amazing fish space with many huge tanks, pools and pounds. Like I said before I have designs almost ready to go on a 5000 gallon built in place tank & system but would like to go as big as 15,000 - 20,000 gallons if the space allows. And I have already started building my 600 gallon, the 400 went so smooth and quick, so I'd exspcet the same for my 600gal build. That could be done over the next month, so he'll end up in as lil as a months time.. I'm not too worried, I will stay in fount of this monster, even if I have to throw up a 20'x4' pop up pool in the basement for him until the builds are done. Sometimes I wish I lived in a warm state... Hardest element to deal with is the temperature to be honest..and the only worry I really have. I have and am still seriously thinking of moving to Florida when I get a chance, just so I could build huge tanks / pools to put my fish in or set up a huge green house with giant DIY tanks where I wouldn't have to worry about getting to cold.. That's my real dream but right now I'm stuck in CO fighting for my to kids in a Divorce and probably won't have an option to leave until they are a few years older due to parenting / joint decision making.
It's funny because I don't think I'm ever going to stop going bigger and bigger with these builds...hahahaha...Guess that's what happens to most of us huh..lol
