Birthday present from the hubby.
I am sooo excited! Today I got a 6 foot, 140 Gallon tank for my birthday! My clowns are getting a bigger better home...I can't wait to set it up, unfortunately, it's too big to fit through the door! Friends are coming to help us move it in through a window...lol.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I will definetely take pictures when it is set up and ready to go.
This makes our 2nd 6 foot tank, but the first one that will be centered around my loaches ( I am so hooked on loaches). In total, we will have 20 tanks set up, almost 800 Gallons.
I will try to get more pictures posted chefkeith, my loaches are so camera shy, even at feeding time they just KNOW I have the camera out!
They little Striatas, Kubs and Clowns I purchased about 3 weeks ago are doing very well. All have gotten a little pudgy and they eat like it's their first feeding ever. The Clowns have doubled in size (all but 1, the smallest) and the Striatas stripes have turned almost an orange color (they were silvery when I bought them)

It's easier to control this addiction when one partner is not a fishaholic, but when both are hooked...

I was just commenting on this to my husband (as we set up our seventh tank in 750 square feet). Every time I get the inane idea to add a tank "you know, if we moved X furniture , we could fit in Y tank...," he agrees.fish_frenzy wrote:

It's probably good we only have 750 square feet to work with.

no, it's a condo. Any extending would be into the neighbor's bedroom. Believe me, we've thought about itEmma Turner wrote:Ah, but can you extendzmo63 wrote: It's probably good we only have 750 square feet to work with.That is what we are planning on doing so that we can have a bigger tank built for the clown loaches. It's a couple of years off yet, but it will happen!

but we can move! Just won't be for another year or two. We're still newish at this fishkeeping business, so I don't think pacing ourselves is a bad thing

I'm very excited about your planned remodel as well!
