    4 months! tell her you will trade her it for the new tank you want! a tank for a tank! seems fair to me.

    being its only been four months, abd you dont have an age on your profile I would sell it ot her. if you feel 250 is to much just sell it to her for 250 and put whatever you feel is to muvh into her new tank your old tank to make the diffrence so you feel better.

    Not arguing here at all, but which tank do you now have?

    I too have a 125long, but I niticed the 120 is deeper front to back, isn't it?

    Well, my two cents....I know you started by saying that she won't let you give it to her and I would sell it to her but like a couple of people said, decide on a decent price - maybe about 1/2 of what you've put into it and then use that money to treat her or use that money toward your new tank or a combination of both.

    Two perspectives on this: 1) She's your gf so it would be nice to give it to her, and 2) no good deed goes unpunished.

    Maybe it's a different girlfriend?

    Anyways, I don't know if you should give it her or sell it to her. Maybe you could keep the tank and let her stock it with what she wants?

    Ok to clear up some more questions we are both 25.things are going very well but at 4months what relationshipisnt lol

    For me its not as much about the 5g increase as the style of the tank.as of now the biocube just has feeder fish in it. I had a mantis in it.

    The thread about moving in is some1 else lol we aren't near that serious...you guys r gonna give me nightmares lol.

    As far as evening things out I'm already wayyyy behind lol.I rebuilt her parents cars transmission and swapped her sisters engine for her.the list goes on lol

    Giving it to her isn't an option lol I wish it wer.
