My story goes a little like this......
Wife: Hun I'm pregnant!
Me: Awesome! I read in a magazine that aquariums are relaxing to crying babies.
Wife: Really?
Me: yes its very therapeutic for them and eases their little minds.
Wife: We should get one.
Me: awesome we should!
So we went to a place here in Tampa and purchased the aquarium, Stand and lights. :xd:
Called a friend with a truck and picked that baby up. I figured with a baby on the way (turned out to be a girl) I figured I would never be able to splurge on my self ever again. Boy was I right Now I have two girls and my wife and a female dog. I'm the only guy in my house. 13 years later I still have my aquarium and it's been broken down a total of about four times since. This weekend 10/3/14 I changed out the sand. Waiting on lights. Wanting to add a remote refugium 40G.
13 years ago was so different back then not to many resources, not like the forums available today. I used beach sand, t-8 bulbs, very little flow, no temperature control. many bad choices. Wife turned A/C off during a weeks vacation came home to a 97º aquarium and house and floating fish.
