    So it is wednesday and my wife usually does her errands, stops and gets me some fresh RO and other things.  I then get a call from her saying there is this mystery wrasse and it is really beautiful.  I am thinking yeah they are sweet I have always wanted one  and $70 seems rather cheap for them.  To make a long story short I came home from work to find a mystery wrasse in my tank. She took te time to acclimate it, I had no idea she paid attention to me  when I did this since all I ever heard was your getting water on my floor.
    So maybe my wife is finally getting the bug, one can only hope

    That was very nice of your wife to get that for you. I have never seen them cheaper than $99 so you got a great deal! I know it's hard to take a picture of it but you should try! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    Oooo man I'm jealous , she's stocking the tank for you, she's definitely got the bug, the fever, I hate you. Just kidding I just got a very nice tank from my friend Rabidreefer a 120 gallon on Valentines's day ha, it's been 5 years for mine and she's slowly coming around.

    Deb most wives don't get it. It has taken almost 17 years to get my lovely, darling and totally understanding wife to understand and accept my Saltwater addiction. Your tank I think has softened her up , she really liked it .

    Yeah I do need a qt. I am not overly worried as AE keeps their fish in low salinity and copper but that's still no excuse for not having one.

    Agree on that, AE is one of the more trustworthy stores.
