Ever since I was a kid I would crave putting together fish tanks and aquascaping just right then when the tanks all set up and stocked all I can think about is buying another aquarium for the high of another build. Are we all like this?

There’s always something new and shiny to suck us back in. I’m never satisfied. But if 5 years ago you showed me my current tank, I would’ve thought it was pro. Now I’m like eh... wish I would’ve done this and that and want to change this and that. And now I need a bigger tank.Ever since I was a kid I would crave putting together fish tanks and aquascaping just right then when the tanks all set up and stocked all I can think about is buying another aquarium for the high of another build.

I love the jump on and measure stage....can I build one and fit it here? I would keep local fish and inverts from our backyard creek every year. Lots of set ups and tear downs in my 10 and 20 gallon glass tanks then. Very fun and often included frogs, newts, and salamanders for the season. What fun!Ever since I was a kid I would crave putting together fish tanks and aquascaping just right then when the tanks all set up and stocked all I can think about is buying another aquarium for the high of another build.

ahh then just wait lolI'd be happy with one properly setup tank. That said, I'm still working on it.
I am not. What I have now is it and I am done buying anything. I am happy as it is.. Are we all like this?
I too dream about a 200 gallon but in a 2nd story apt I dont think it would be possible, i feel your painI was just talking about this with my wife last week... who just nodded and smiled and either didn’t get it or didn’t care. So thank you for bringing this up!!!
I’m entering my 4th decade of fish keeping and my third year of my first saltwater tank. With every one of my past FW plants, I usually found myself starting to get bored about 2-3 years in. They always became “set it and forget it” with no additional challenges. Planted tanks helped extend that honeymoon period by about 6 months.
Reefing has been a game changer. While there are still times that my obsession wanes, I find myself wanting more and more every month that goes by. What started as a FOWLR tank 3 years ago quickly became a fish + softies tank, which soon lead to the addition of some LPS... and this past year, ultimately becoming an SPS dominant tank. Not to mention I’ve been collecting equipment for a 30 gallon shallow reef and already daydreaming about my 200g+ tank that I hope you have in a few years when we move to our forever home.
We're never satisfied.... I totally thought this to the tune of the Hamilton song.
Nothing makes me feel more accomplished than when I make someone laugh! Thanks for the follow!thanks for the laugh lol I gave your insta a follow, nice tanks!
While (true, x = x+1)There is actually an algorithm to calculate how many tanks you need. It is X+1=desired tanks. Where X is the number of tanks you currently have, and you just need one more.
