    Sooooooooo...since my 120 flooded some time ago, I downsized to a couple of small AIO's. Now I have the itch to go bigger and Innovative marine has a new series of bigger AIO's and I want one/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif, the 80 gallon one. The 120 is too long although that would have been nice but my house has too many windows and not enough wall space.


    That will make it 4 tanks at my house and another small one at my work and a 4 year old son. He thinks I am crazy for wanting another one....


    Do I jump and start accruing equipment to get this tank or should I back off the ledge?


    Help!!!!

    You can never have enough water.

    What if there is a fish you want, and your tanks are full? You need some back up space available

    LOL... you can tell it's the addicts here are the ones giving advice. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif lol. That said... I've managed to fit 9 tanks here in my 800 sq ft apartment. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif Granit many are small and hooked together. Albeit nearly all are in cabinetry...and not readily seen. But non-the-less they are here. And yes that's additional to cake decorating, quail raising, and the 2.5yr old! I am currently in the process of downsizing but only due to health reasons... if I had my way I'd keep them all! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif I do have to say though my husband knows officially just how crazy I am... lol.

    Go for it if you can afford it (money, time, space, dedication)... if not, upgrade a current tank and get rid of the one your least pleased with. If that's just not doable... ummm well then I'd say what my husband says to me.... "suck it up buttercup!" /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    One addict to another... I hope you get it! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    I think Craig's pretty high on the crazy scale. I had the chance to see his project he's working on. LOTS of saltwater, and the biggest tank is at the foot of his bed LOL.
