for your tanks.

have.

- You use the excuse "Ahh come on honey the next tank will be yours I
promise" to get another tank.
- Your daughter can identify more species of fish than most pet store employees.
- The refrigerator is bare except for the frozen fish food.
- You make weekly trips to the lumber yard to make more tank stands.
- Touring houses for sale, you look at the garage and automatically start figuring out
how many tanks will fit in there.

into the garage, and you decide to put your bed out there instead of your tanks.
