I need a bigger tank but...

Apparently you picked an appropriate screen name.

You have no idea :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: . Let’s just say my husband is a saint and he can get as many video game consoles as he wants without a peep from me and when he gets that ridiculous car he wants i will cheer him on!

I've thought about trading her in on a newer model with less miles but then I really would be left with my fishes.

Lol… no need for fewer miles when the old engine is still kicking!

Increased humidity...
Higher risk of respirtory illness...

Its not advised to sleep in the room with your reef tank.

Than I suggest you not be in the same room as your tank ever. Even better yet one shouldn't own a tank.

SMH.

I think sleeping in the room and watching TV or in another room enjoying are 2 different things.

There are many cases of people getting increased pulomary disease from high humidity.
A tank will do that with Evap... and a large tank will evap more.

Im fairly sure you know about that seeing how some are you tanks are quite large.

But its from many medical pratictioners advice that you don't sleep with a full bloated large reef tank in your room, because the humidity can do nasty things with your lungs.

This is also another reason why older people tend to like the desert and dryer locations better.

But hey what would i know? i only have 2 family members who are doctors, one who even kindly donated me a UNS 120U (more like dumped it on me) because they started getting breathing problems from it being in the living next room, and they never opening the windows.

If you offended by this comment, then i applogize, but im mearly stating the health risk you can get from having the tank in the room your sleeping 8-10 hours per day straight in.

What is the blue and green coral in the bottom left corner?

What's the difference spending a lot of time in a room and sleeping in the same room as a tank.

You are still breathing same air.

that isn't true again....

When in resting, you will breath differently then while sitting.
And when you deep sleep, its something entirely else... you can tell a person is sleeping from the way they breathe on top.

Its not fundementally the same.

Hey i am mearly stating what multipul doctors have told me.
Don't hate the messenger, they all tell me definitely do not setup a anything larger then possibly a small beta tank... less then 2.5g in your bed room, unless you live in a location where your windows are always open non stop, and humidity isn't a factor, because its always vented outside.

If you doubt my statement, go ask your primary next time you do your annual.

 

[VintageReefer]

What about instead of a larger tank, a species dedicated tank to move it into. A 40 or 60 breeder would probably be enough for a long time, just secure that bad boy right in the center, sit back and let it keep growing out

On the sand is an orange short and green long plate corals. Above them on the corner is a green RFA.

I sleep with a humidifier on and my CPAP also has a built in humidifier so perhaps I might be able to ditch these things and sleep in my humid fish room comfortably.

Going to have to agree with @sfin52 here. No downsides to taking up residence with the fishes. Things'll be fine in the Master. Remember, distance makes the heart grow fonder!

And the wallet grow smaller probably.

That's hilarious

I thought so to and it seemed to be made just for your thread.

Being relegated to sleeping in my fish room office instead of the master bedroom would be rough. I've thought about it but it's just a battle I can't win at home unfortunately.

My torches are wiping corals out now.

Same boat here, I finally realized I needed to upgrade, sick of fragging. I was looking at the Waterbox 150.4 and then my daughter got engaged! No money left until after the wedding in 2025. I’ll just keep fragging, I’ll be happy to give you a ton frags :winking-face: !

We can just live vicariously through others with the sea world display tanks.
