Hmmm.................................I wonder?

I does look like a nice place for extra tanks yea?

So will you have all the tanks up and running for your trip to Emmas in December

what does your wife think this room is going to be used for? and if you win, you will have to increase entry fees

Oh Graeme, so you did make your boys go and start living in a tent in the garden then?
Make way for more fish!

I'm most certainly going to try and 'sweet' talk the missus. This is for relaxing in the summer. Watch a bit of TV, read some Books, Have a glass or two....etc. I think my TV will be a wide screen one *approx 5 or 6ft.

Wish me Luck!

Good luck Graeme. I liked Mad Duff's idea of getting his wife pressies when he buys fish, but this may take a quite impressive present.

what do you intend to watch in your wide screen ?

Looks like it's nice and light (that a tree outside?). Could get good plant or algae growth maybe? 6 foot planted tank.....big shoal of sids, some neato dithers.

Or a mega River-Tank.....tons of current....strong light...algae covered loadsa stones.

Or I have a design for a b*ast*rd tank that would work nicely with 72" of play-room......that's part of The Book though......

So much possibility.....

Robusta's. Just kidding!

Oh yea! Good point. I'll pay her parking tickets.....then again, that will make her go shopping more.

It just seems to me that a tank (or two or three) is a natural for a room like this that is primarily for relaxation. I mean what is more relaxing that watching a tank full of fish?

Just trying to help you out.

Mega river tank! Now i likes that!

I could'nt agree more Jim.

Google......sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Graeme....I was searching for the medical evidence of the relaxation and blood-pressure benefits from watching fish tanks....could have helped your case, but Google threw this up.

Not what I had in mind, but at least it seems to be sanctioned in the UK.

ROFLMAO!

Martin.

LMAO!!!

I heard a rumour that somebody was doing it in the New York area?

Martin.

Greame have the robustas if you want them. you have a new room, and i have a renovated house that should have been finished over 3 years ago, owned by the in-laws who are not capable of getting a toilet plugged in to a tank in the garden.

i'm just not sure how much of a relaxing time you will have watching any Grrr species tank still, it's better than Google's input.

Well, that's one my twisted mind never even considered.
