Great Wives

So after 15 years I got back into this money pit of a hobby and love it. I have a new bride of over a year....

I sent her to memos at lunch to grab some RO water. She comes home tonight with a beautiful red mushroom for our new tank. Last week she purchased a sailfin. I feel like I died and went to heaven.

I wish this for everyone in the club lol.

Yeah, it’s all great, until you’re on the 3rd tank upgrade shopping for a Starfire 180, maxed out. So then decide you really need to remodel the basement, you know, to show it off. Then they get all weird because you want to spend a little more to do it right. I mean, at that point what’s another $20k, right?

Lol, j/k
Welcome back & congratulations!

 

[tonyga]

lol. She's already looking at a 150 lmao

 

[ichthyoid]

You’ve got a keeper!

 

[tonyga]

Ain't that the truth

Sharing the hobby is the best. Word of marital/aquaria advice: be clear on quarantine protocols before surprises get plopped into your display tank!

 

[tonyga]

She wouldn't buy a fish without asking. Coral...different story but she's asked the right questions so far.

My wife allows 1 tank per house. No “ands” i
“if” or “but”s. She’s sneaky, she knows I won’t hav be time to take care of tanks elsewhere but weasels me into investing more

My wife is not happy about my upgrade. She wants me to spend more time working on the yards. X.X
