So I was driving home yesterday, and there was this fat big ole black Hummer in front of me. You know those ginormous wide flat ones.

Okay, so instead of admiring or cursing at it since it cut me off in traffic <grumble grumble> I was lost in thought while waiting on the light trying to figure out how big of a tank I could fit in that thing. I was thinking I could fit hmmm... a 225g but then was trying to figure out if I tipped it on it's side if I could fit a 300g tank in it.

Sad but true. ;D

Let's hear your stories.
 
....you have fantasies about moving into a live-work warehouse space filled with coral flat tanks tied into a common system.

Ok.. and a big kitchen too would be nice :D
 
You people need help. : )

Sometime I dream that I am working on one of my tanks that has a problem things are dying, then realize that I haven't fed or maintained this tank in a long time, then I realize that I don't recognize the tank, but its in my place, finally I wake up.
 
Whenever I came home, I used to go directely to my tank and do my routine check. One day, my wife said you say HI to the fish before my son and her. Now I have to make sure I say HI to them before I get lost in my tank. By the way, that's what I do before I go to sleep and the first thing I do when I wake up. I think I'm hopeless.
 
10 reasons why corals are better than spouses :D

1. Corals don't know how to nag.
2. Corals don't care whether or not you eat all the skin from your roast duck.
3. When corals give you the silent treatment, it's normal and there actually isn't anything wrong.
4. Corals don't mind if you ogle other corals.
5. When your coral gets big and fat, it's a good thing.
6. Corals like it when you spend money on a bigger skimmer.
7. Corals don't think that you're on match.com when you spend all your free time on reef forums.
8. You can end up with *more* money when you get rid of your corals.
9. Corals don't know how to say "too many tanks".
10. It's good to trade corals for other sexy corals.

However; like spouses:

1. They cost a lot of money
2. They demand way too much of your time
3. You need to learn a whole new language to understand them
4. They just want to sit around in the sun all day while you pamper them
5. They have to look good at all times
6. They want nothing but the best home
7. They are picky about their food

I tried to get to 10 ;-)
 
OK, here's the best I ever heard. My friend bought a light off a guy who had a fire in his garage. apparently his two 500w heaters melted the acrylic in the sump and then caught fire while he was out of town.

Not discouraged by this in any way the guy was building a 5000 gal (yes, 5K!) tank in his new house. His wife is a successful realtor and heiress to a winery; but that's a whole different story. Why you ask would anyone want a 5000 gal tank? Well, of course, so he can swim with his fish!

Now that is dedication.

Possible # 8 - 10

8. They demand quality accessories, ie.. skimmers and lights for tanning, to propagate / have kids.
9. They don't like other corals near them or they start getting jealous by RTNing or some sort.
10. SO, what's the difference between the corals and your spouse...?!
