Addiction. Once you start, it's almost impossible to stop. It takes a lot of money. It can isolate you from friends and family. They just don't understand. Even if you manage to quit, that demon is always on your shoulder. You can't pass a fish tank without imagining the possibilities, no matter how long you've been quit. And you almost always come back to your addiction. It's a craving. It's in your blood. And unlike most drugs, this addiction is amazingly enjoyable and has proven health benefits!

I live in a one bedroom upper apt. Very small. I have 5 tanks in here right now. 45,46,40,20, and a 10....basically have no room to walk. Can you say hoarder! I need a bigger apt. Lol

 

[leon1972]

Hahahahaha

 

[Droskie20]

sneek peek!! rocks are on the way so i dont wanna hear people say i need more rocks lmao

 

[little_fish]

You need to get that on a proper table ASAP, how you have set up will make your chances of the tank leaking go up exponentially

 

[ErinCahir]

Ooooo. +1 little_fish. You need to have the ENTIRE tank supported.

Droskie, I had my 10g on a similar table with it hanging over on the edges. Went to home depot and in their closets department they have solid wood shelving pieces that you can buy and then put it on top of the table to support your tank. They're really inexpensive and a quick fix!
