you line the entire rooms wall space with 300+ gallon tanks, huge filtration systems, stock extremely rare expensive fish, elaborate lighting system, have a 180 gallon set up as a guppy/platie breeder tank to use as feeders. You have everything that you've always dreamed about having in the hobby and are extremely satisfied....
THEN YOU WAKE UP!...and realize you have a long way to go and are really upset that it was all a dream.
When the city water dept contacts you because they think you have a leak because you are the highest residential water useage in your city and you do not have a pool
The city inspector arrives at your home to fine you for having a pool/pond you didn't file paper work with the city for.
You purchase a brand new $1500 pool only to cut the frame work and trim the liner to fit the space you want to put it in.
You spend hours figuring out how to spend every penny of your tax return on fish stuff.
You sell the extra car that sits most of the year in the garage in order to buy a bigger tank and make room for it.
You have your architect add a 10'x40' addition to the back of your three car garage in order to have a fish room but you tell your wife that it is where you plan to put your workshop when the garage already has been drawn to have one!
When your neighbors complain of low water pressure because you are using the front and rear hose connections, the utility sink in the garage, both bathroom tubs, and the kitchen sink in order to fill your new tank faster!
