Tell her not to complain about the money you are going to spend

My wife has no care in the world for any of my aquariums. I could get rid of the 90g in the living room and wouldn't be surprise if she didn't ask about until months laters.
Wait! … it doesn’t end with THIS life!!!A partner through this life and the next, not so much!

I agree 100%. Although I myself am a fan of hyperbolics. So I'll allow it in defense of comedy and making the point.All these people telling you to divorce your wife over a small aquarium must have terrible relationships. I know some of them are joking but still. Support your wife, it sounds like she was doing well in her mind, grit through it like men are supposed to, and move on.
In the end, fish tanks are easy to replace. A partner through this life and the next, not so much!
This is a very selfish hobby. Crap happens. Good luck dude! Enjoy life.
Can @Townes_Van_Camp get a Saint badge up in the *****!!!I agree 100%. Although I myself am a fan of hyperbolic. So I'll allow it in defense of comedy and making the point.
However, I didn't even yell. She didn't know. As I said in another post in this thread
"I knew the tank couldn't live forever. It was gonna be one thing or another that killed it."
I think I was lucky. I could have been a hurricane that left me with all dead fish and coral or a power outage or big dogs wrestling, who knows. The one thing I do know.is I was able to save all of my stock and drain it down before it blew out and all the water ended up under my floor. Heck, I only had to walk 20 feet for an appropriate Tupperware to store everything during rebuild on a new system.
Real men cry.grit through it like men are supposed to, and move on.
Definitely an upgrade opportunity.You haven’t been married or not married long enough. That’s a reason for a very large tank. Super slim window of opportunity right there for OP. Lol
I appreciate the sentiment. But sadly I'm quite flawed. I make up for it by showing restraint when I can.
I made a command decision.Definitely an upgrade opportunity.
I just gifted a large sum to a wife's relative. That got me a 425XL. 2nd hand given but she was ok with quadrupling my tank capacity
Well who is that cutie on the floor? What kind?
She moved my 6 year old IM 14 peninsula. I had digitata growing a mm from the surface. Monti cap, cyphestrea, digitata, multiple zoas growing off the glass. I've fragged it out and watched it grow back in three times now.
She torqued the tank dragging it across the room while I was at work. About 6 inches of the rhoght front from the top down is leaking...

You were so close! "grit through it like men are supposed to" is also an example of toxic masculinity. His feelings are valid (frustration, disappointment, even anger). The important parts are communication, empathy, and understanding. Something that a lot of the folks making divorce jokes (or not jokes) in the thread don't seem to have or know how to demonstrate. My wife would be mortified if this happened to her and I would absolutely find myself expressing my disappointment while also managing to reassure that we're all good.All these people telling you to divorce your wife over a small aquarium must have terrible relationships.
