    LMAO SPEEDY! " You know what's funny.... My tanks never complain about the time/money I spend on you. You should learn from their example."

    thats what i should tell my wife... she always asks why i need three tanks... but i recently came to the decision to rid of my freshwater tank to use as a sump/fuge, and keep the nano and make it SW.

    Stand your ground. Don't give in. You'll be battling for the fairest cause of all. Your hobby. ;D

    Nah just kiddin'. It's all about compromise. That's all. ;)

    I use tactics like "Where would you want me to put the tank honey?" or "I'll let you choose which room I'll use as the fish room. Would you like to help me decorate it?" Keep'er involved and just give'er a little something back. ;D

    We have our arguments. But for the most part everything goes smooth. When you have a 2 and a 4 year old who will only watch Finding Nemo and you find them sitting on your bed just watching the fish. ITS REWARDING.. It's is kinda funny when they scream more to go in the fish store than toys R us>!!!!! And they know the owner by name. HMMMM TOO much time at the Fish Store???? never.

    Funny how we all read this post and it's from way back in 2005. I guess it's a timeless problem LOL
