See why I picked my name. Oh and I also run my sister's 10 gallon with goldfish because no one takes care of it so I run over and do water changes on that because I can't stand a dirsy green tank. That's crazy.
Ferrets are awesome. Too bad we weren't responsible enough to keep ours. Other than the tank we have now we have a dog and a cat. In the past we have had two mice, two hamsters, a ferret, and our other cat that was attacked by a pack of wild dogs (we live in the country and alot of people let their dogs run free). I really liked my mice, one was all white execpt for one brown spot by it's tail and had red eyes, the other one was almost all black. I miss them

At 1 time I had 2-55 gallons, 2-29 gallon, 1-20 gallon, 1-10 gallon, and 1-125 gallon. All salt but for 1 of the 55s. The maintanence on them burnt me and my wife out. Then our tanks starting getting run down and fish started dieing. I started giving tanks away and trading for some things. I lost a lot of money and now I'm down to my 125 and it doesn't even have anything in it right now.

A couple of years ago, I had 9 tanks going at once, 4 FW and 5 SW. It started to become overwhelming so I've gradually reduced the amount of tanks I have. Now it's 1 FW and 2 SW. The odd thing is, that when I had the 9 tanks they were smaller and now my tanks are bigger so I've basically got the same amount of gallons that I had before!
Other pets include a chow/shepard mix (love this dog...soooo smart!), there's a soft shelled turtle in the FW tank, and a canary. My son had two pet rats but they recently died....nice animals BTW for anyone looking for a good pet!

I just need to fork out the dough for a brand new tank and I'm a cheap ass

My 29 gallon reef is absolutely the apple of my eye, but limiting on amount and size of fish.
I want a big tank

too bad your on the west coast, i am buying a 150 gallon today for 100 bucks and the guy also has a 180 gallon for 200 bucks, but the 180 doesn't have hood or stand. i am selling my 75 gallon, just the tank and hood though.

Ha.......... The electric company LOVES us.......... I started up a 30gal reef along with my 55gal reef. When I saw the jump in my electric bill I was checking to see if people were tied into my power. But with no luck. My living room is sucking electricity big time ! Then I also have a 30gal and a 10gal freshwater also.
