wow wtf? my tanks not a 55??

[Wiggles92]

it's not the buckets that make the tank a 45 gallon, its the dimensions. a standard 55 is 21" high..

x2.

Just remember that aquarium manufacturers determine how many gallons an aquarium is based on the outside dimensions rather than the inside dimensions.

I bet harry potter (or maybe chuck norris) could get 11 5-gallon buckets in a 45 gallon tank.

Besides you're too WEAK to carry 5 gallons anyways...JK

 

[derekp]

Your not filling your tank with 11 5gallon buckets worth of water if you have any driftwood, rocks, gravel, or fish bigger than tetras.

agreed. im also assuming your gfs name is brittani? I hope yall dont break up, youd have to change your username.

Thats good, its always nice to find a girl that can count. But seriously though Im happy for yall, its really hard to find a lasting relationship these days.

 

[Garrett.turbo]

Yeah I know both of our past relationships before we got together were dead ends. This is the happiest we've ever been.
