[dprais1]

crossing a line, yes. but are you on the side you want to be on?

[dpete9]

What am I missing here? Is it blocking a door?

[Second Hand Pat]

I do not know yet. lol. After the double rack for the 75 is built I will let you know lol.

[Second Hand Pat]

What am I missing here? Is it blocking a door?

Sorry, it is the double decker on the stand for the 40 breeders. The tank below is to house the my non-contest fish when I select the eight fish later tonight.

[dpete9]

oh ha ha.. got ya!

[magewynd]

Well, if you cross the line you may never be able to go back. All you can do is get more tanks. (Is that a water barrel blocking the door?

[nc0gnet0]

LOL,

I crossed that line along time ago. Pat, do you know you can get double decker racks from Fosters and Smith quite reasonably priced? with free delivery?

Sure you can but hopefully not. Yup, I have three of them along that wall. That door is seldom used.

Not surprised on that Rick. I like those double deckers from F&S. I bet they can not be built cheaper either.

Not so. You set your limit on tanks. You decide whether you want to sell off fish when they are quarters or wait longer. When you know what you want to do you decide on the size and deminsion of your tanks. I have only 2 breeder tanks. Everything else is for grow outs. Growing out takes time and space. It's easier to sell young fish.

They can be assembled and disassembled in about 30 seconds, so you have a tank stand on demand when you need it..

[Second Hand Pat]

Oh wow, that works very nicely.

[strawberryblonde]

Oh honey, once you cross that line there's no turning back yanno. First you tell Tom that he doesn't really need to use that door to get to the next room, then you tell him he doesn't really need to get into the kitchen to eat and it just goes on and on.

When you're overflowing with babies and want to send some out here for the Jumbo Wilds experiment just let me know. I'm trying to convince Tim that he doesn't need to use the dining room...ever... LOL

[Second Hand Pat]

Actually Toni Tom told me I could already use the dining room. lol

[strawberryblonde]

I think Tom needs to have a good sit down with Tim. Tim is still being stubborn. LOL

[Orange Crush]

After Tom talks to Tim could you have him talk with my husband?
He was fine with the 40G QT I got for the discus and their 75G DT....
He thought I was a little weird for doing daily wc's....
But now that I set up the 20G for the pair and their fry, bought a 50G to grow out the fry and now to top it off, I have a 2nd pair that is laying eggs, I think he has reached his limit. lol

[shoveltrash]

Pat what a wonderful husband you have! :D
funny, when I read of people going into breeding & raising fry/juvies, things seem to expand exponentially LOL.

[Wildcaught dutchman]

Hi Pat.I think you need so many tanks when you get all that batches.I think you need a few more and bigger tanks when the batch grows bigger and biggger.:o

[Chicago Discus]

Hmmmm, not sure Tom is up for all of that. :)

[Second Hand Pat]

Especially with you having a full time job.

[Bill63SG]

Aw crap Bill, I am already there :oI shouldn't talk.Just can't plug in another heater.That's what drew my line.

[Second Hand Pat]

That what extension cords is for :)

[brewmaster15]

Pat,
I think you crossed the line quite awhile ago like many of us. Just remember this saying.."furniture is over rated" if you start getting rid of it, you always have more places for tanks.;)

Oh boy Al, I have to be very careful here. Tom and I still live in the house which our daughter grew up in and it is a good sized house even without a basement. ATM my longest WC is 75 feet (hose wise). I have room for plenty more tanks but not the time with a full time job...and you are correct...already crossed the line. :grin:

[Second Hand Pat]

LOL Bill, she most likely does know. They usually do :D ...but doesn't say anything to let their men think they are getting away with something.

[Bill63SG]

I think once the washing machine stopped popping breakes,she knew something was up.

[Disgirl]

Pat, about 15 years ago I had my fishroom in the dining room, about 15 tanks in there, I would clear off the table once a year for Thanksgiving, we would eat, then it was a fishroom for the next 364 days. I took a whole lot of ribbing about it from everyone I knew except my husband since he knew that I was selling a lot of the fish I raised in that room. Good luck with all yours! But I have to admit that life is much easier with only the 3 tanks I have now.

I have the perfect place in my living for a china closet... and we have some really nice china we inherited from my wife's grand parents. This place is really the only place where one would fit. However it fits a 125 gal tank as well...so the china sits now out of sight stacked up under the wood fish tank stand, next to the fish tank supplies.:)

[Second Hand Pat]

Oh I have a better one Al. I have wanted a china cabinet since Tom and I were married 30 years ago. A short time back Tom found a gorgeous china cabinet on craiglists, he setup an appointment to go see it and I decided to pass. No tank in the dining room....yet :)...Tom was not happy with me to say the least. I am a critter person down to my toes.
