sorry bud.
never try to hard to tell a women what to do. it never goes the way you want

my adivice is support her choice and just buy another 55 for a sump.

Whaa! Live with it, buy her a nice MH pendant light for it, and be glad she's interested in some aspect of the hobby! Not much nicer than a nicely done planted tank...
Then, order a custom sump and call it even!

Sneak a load of salt in when she's not looking and tell her you can get these really beautiful corals and colourful fish for FW these days . . . . the Japs are cloning them you know

lol Brucey!

Reminds me of the time I got an 80 gallon tank and told wife it was the 55 she wanted me to get but she watched as I put the amount of water in the tank and it did not go well.

hunterd_67 · 08-13-2004, 08:23 PM

lol, i could slowly turn it into a sw tank, she was looking at mollies, i guess its only fair sense i was looking at bigger tanks (210)

we went and picked another filter for it, and got some ideas, its hers but i get to do all the work, something aint right there....lol

a freshy tank is nice,,,my other half has one, plus you have the advantage of seeing more than 3-4 fish in the tank. there is some work to it, but compared to a SW/reef,,,aint nothing.

let her have her tank,,,you can do lunch and go to the LFS together and have quality time. that will make her happy! remember the golden rule of relationships...you are only as happy as your wife is....if shes not...your not!

Very true, shes trying to decide now what to put in
