well, after jess's mom overheard me an her dad talking about building a tank stand tonight, she flipped out, and said that under no circumstances were we to put an aquarium in the house, she's worried about leaks, about wood rotting, and about it cutting down on the resale value of the house, sooooooooooooooo our plans have been put on hold til we get our own place, but, on a plus note, we are looking at a place for rent thats not tooo bad on rent, only 1100 a month, an it has a secondary apt separate fro the house that we can rent out to a friend of ours, so, we might try an get that place around the first of the year, so, hopefully things will be back on track by then, but, for now, the tanks have to wait til we have our own place, no tank in the house right now
