Let me help you out. Tell your wife how excited you are about this new tank you want ( see picture) and it will be 10% off on Black Friday! Then, after she says no, wait a few days and show her the one you want and say “ I guess I can settle for this little tank.” She can’t say no again and you more than compromised to make her happy.

Not bad for a guy that as a kid went to public school! ;) I always like to help a friend and can’t wait to see his new tank up and running, after all I have to live vicariously through you guys and gals until my upgrade next year. Green light already given when my wife found my stack of cash I was saving for my upgrade, now that stack is referred to as my daughters wedding fund. Just dropped another 3k yesterday for the last half of the wedding hall deposit.:angry-face:

You guys are the best enablers ha! You've got XR15s on your tank?

Yep just one. I only have a 40 gallon cube. The growth I've gotten with that light has really surprised me. I didn't set out to get the radion and yes I'm know there are cheaper options, but i swear by mine. The app is fantastic imo too
