    When you beak out walls, move doors, reinforce floors, sell furniture, just so you can make space for, and have that one tank everyone said was too big..

    (Love this thread.. Thanks for reviving it @Fishlips.. Been LMSAO since last night)..

    RKali I can relate to this, I have a massive classical french design desk in my study, want to sell it and buy a smaller desk in order to buy a 5 foot tank for the study.

    Ha Ha LOVE it! first time I've seen this thread, just read the whole thing:laugh:

    ....When the kids start bringing you nice rocks they found at a friend's house for tank No 15...
    ...Or when you sneak new fish or tanks into the fish room..., making sure that no one sees you bringing them in and when they do later notice...you'r like...nooo I just re-sealed that tank, it's an old one that I stripped months ago:blushing:
    .....or when you stop at the lfs to get a background and you hear the kids splitting on you ..."MOM HE JUST SPENT R600 ON MORE LOACHES!"

    soo glad my AMAZING wife doesn't do TASA!

    When your browser history has no porn sites...but there's a list as long as Zuma's rap sheet with fish related URL's (with the occasional unicorn photo here and there...obviously)

    I wish Ferdie, sadly the law has severely place restrictions on me, such as fishtanks only in my study, and smoking my pipe beneath the lapa. Negotiations still under way for a pond, please hold thumbs.

    ....when you walk into LPS and you think to your self "I have more fish in the fishroom/house than they have in stock"
    ....When you ask the kids to help in the yard and to clean the pool and they start complaining but quickly start helping because they just remembered that last time you threatened to turn the pool into a koi pond....AND THEY KNOW YOU WILL !!....
