Hi Christina, I WAS going to answer your question, but belothsurf butted in as usual. (I'M ONLY KIDDING TOOOOOOO!!!) But he did answer it so...Anyway (don't you think that belothsurf shouldn't eat the mushrooms and THEN try to answer questions?)
Belothsurf, there are many places to get the help you need. Call me if you need to...all of us here at swf will be glad to do an intervention if it is so needed.
Christina, Get the tank now. If you may not move for years, why wait? Who knows what the future brings? Live it baby! After all, in a short time you could become a drug-addled scientist like belothsurf, and THEN WHAT?
Seriously, ask a lot of questions Christina. This forum can save you tons of money and frustration. Your LFS (local fish store) will very likely give you poor advice just to make money off of you. Come here and ask first then take all the opinions and advice, and see what fits your way of thinking. People here don't make money from you so they're only here to help for the love of the hobby. (Some are also here to harass you too....
JUST KIDDING BELOTHSNARF!)
Good luck!
