Look at that pile of glass! Wow man that is impressive (and a bit scary) :lol:

[parkinsn]

Don't worry Brett, you know where my folks live. You can partake in the intervention. I will PM with time of pick up. :lol:

Thats a pretty impressive collection of glass Grizz!! What size is that cube in there?

[sphelps]

Impressive like the crazy cat lady down the street... :wink:

So I'm thinking you could do without the 18th tank, someone less fortunate might be more deserving of such a deal...

Not all these are display worthy & I am planning on a home based SW shop for this area so every tank count. And who knows maybe I will just build a stand with cabinet doors, sump and plumbing and then just give it away as a complete unit.

If you are refering to one of the ones with the tape on them they are actually someones else sump and res. tank that I am helping build for him.

[parkinsn]

Ya that would be the one im referring to. Too bad.

[hillbillyreefer]

You have a problem. Try crack or heroin, I'm sure it would be cheaper than your salt problem.

[The Grizz]

No problem here, would like to start a SW shop for people here in Red Deer for locals.

The big tank in the back is going to be donated to my sons bearded dragons at some point.

And for the record Myka has more tanks then I do.

[globaldesigns]

Can we say "Hoarder"?

[globaldesigns]

Greg, I have a challenge for you...

Set-up every tank, connecting them all together in one crazy system. Tanks high, tanks low, tanks stacked on top of each other. Now that would be cool.

Make some of them Fowler, some predator, some reef, some sea horses, do it all!

[sphelps]

Can we say "Hoarder"?
No, No didn't you read? He has a plan, hoarders never have a plan...

[globaldesigns]

HEHE, Hoarders always have a plan, they just don't follow through.

[sphelps]

HEHE, Hoarders always have a plan, they just don't follow through.
That was my sarcasm typing :surprise:

[The Grizz]

I always follow through on my plans but sometimes it take a little while to complete.

I would like to get at least 6 tanks running on one lg sump & one QT tank on a separate sump. My current 8'er will be eventually moved to the office & divided into 2' x 2' sections, below it will be 2-4' tanks also divided in half. That will give me 8 tank sections for fish. I have a nice frag tank already running and the 126 gal will be my display.

If you guy seen my office you would understand my madness :twised:. It is a total man cave, complete with leather couch's & a 50" plasma on the wall.:biggrin:

[sphelps]

I understand that even the place you work is full of distractions....

All kidding aside you have a problem :mrgreen:

The only problem I have is not enough time in the day to do everyday work & build my own stuff.

Tell me about it

PS I'm only teasing

[Myka]

And for the record Myka has more tanks then I do.

LMAO! :mrgreen:

[globaldesigns]

I know, and that was mine :lol:

[The Grizz]

That's great... Saw the thread about your dad picking it up. Glad it all worked out.

[The Grizz]

I am happy as well, I was also sent 2 big boxes of dry rock, some really nice pieces too.

See, all you need now is a new building on your acreage and you can open up a public aquarium. It would at least give people a reason to go to Red Deer on purpose.

[gobytron]

Reminds me of my basement...
You make me feel a lot better about the space I take up in my house with my tanks...

Sometimes i think i could fit another tennant if I got out of this hobby.

I do have a second building that is 40 x 40 but we use it for storage.

This is in my shop, if it was in the house i would be a dead man.

[claymax]

[howdy20012002]

Well I dont feel that bad now :biggrin: but dont you work in the glass industry some how? I know if I did I would have a ton of tanks and glass around here, good thing glass is not weldable :lol:

LOL....

This is why you buy a house first and get married second...if at all.

Though maybe if i had a shop, marriage might seem more bearable.

Lucky me I got married first and both the wife and I wanted an acreage, just so happens we got one with a 40' x 70' shop & 40' x 40 shop :biggrin:& best of all I have a man cave for my office that is 40' x 16' in the bigger shop.:biggrin::biggrin:

Very good thing I'm contained in a shoebox. Given your space I think you've shown restraint =)

[reef93]

The Grizz, I think you should change your user name to Tankmaster or Tankaholic :lol:

[The Grizz]

That is a good suggestion but if you knew or seen me you would change your mind. Plus Grizz is part of my company name.

That's what I thought as well. Just glad I don't work or have a friend here that's in the glass industry or who knows what would happen :lol:

Never mind the 16,000 gals of indoor pool, if I was single it might have a shark or two in it :twisted:

[Coleus]

Thanks Greg, I show your tank picts to my wife to prove that I am not at all addictive to this hobby.

Your welcome Tai, glad I could be of some help :lol:

[kien]

My daughter called, she wants her little pony tank back!

[The Grizz]

Yes she did call me tonight, was trying to sell me all you nice colonies for a big bag of candies but you took the phone away before we could seal the deal. The little pony tank was just to distract you :razz:
