WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE ME????

[CK123]

Sell the fish and equipment and give that money to your dad. Then save your money, get married, pay off debt and start over.

His insurance is paying for it. I'm not selling my fish, I'm saving my money while paying off my debt. anything else

 

[TTTT]

Hmm.. maybe go small.. if your trying to save money, I don't think a 55g is your best bet. There are really alot of cool fish that could be kept in a 20g long or 30g.

I' can save money while having a larger tank. I own 2 10's, 2 20's, a 55, and a 125 for the future. I have everything i need just need a place to put it

[Raptorthefishman]

Wow!

Turn the basement into your fishroom.

5 Gs in damages? Be very grateful that your dad is even considering letting you put up a tank in his basement. Don't press your luck. Take the 55gal.-basement deal and wait until the busted tank is a distant memory before you ask to place another tank in your room.

your dad calls the shots in HIS house.
55 goes in the basement now. When you get your own place you do what you want. Sorry for the broken tank.!
