The tank looks so dirty for a few reasons A) algae just doesn't bother me. B) the tank gets indirect sun from some large windows C) it's and old Oceanic that looks like it's falling apart but holds water and it cost me 20$ with the stand lol
But I am a stickler about water quality.. you won't catch any of my tanks over .25 ammonia.. and if Nitrite bounce I go all crazy fish lady on the poor tank.
Thanks for the compliments =) we're pretty smitten with him and hope to get him a girl as soon as we can find one =)
I got him from the LFS I worked at before I became "stay at home mom"
as for hiding the wallet... rofl my husband already has! He'd rather take me to the mall then the fish store.. I spend less on clothes then fish.
