Well a few weeks ago my tank broke and caused 5 grand worth of damages to my dads house. Now he has changed his mind about setting up a tank again in my room cuz he's worried it may happen again. I need to have my fish in a 55 for growout tank. Would you try talking to him and see if he changes his mind? O r would you... Set the tank up in the basement if he will let you. I would hate to set the tank uo in my basement cuz then i dont get the joy of watching them like i do in my room. My basement isnt finished so its just for storage.. What do you think? Any ideas. I need help asap
