Hey!!!! I just bought a yellow tang. What are you trying to say! Rev, you're lucky. I can't get my wife to even look at my tank and whenever she does, she criticizes the wiring or algae.

That's OK, chillers aren't too expensive to buy or operate. Now that I think about it, what fun to have a tropical nano AND and cold-water nano. You could stock them with corals that coordinate between the tanks and, if you're lucky, coordinate with the room's interior decor. If not, just redecorate the room. I can see it now: twin 40-gal. cubes bookending some solid-oak shelving. It'll make the living room an absolute showpiece.

Rev, thi$ i$ not good. $he'$ going to want Gucci coral$ and you're going to be $tuck with ju$t enough fund$ to buy $ome u$ed filter flo$$.
Gary

Oh yeah. My wife's obsession started about 2 years ago and I thought I had expensive tastes! Oh, it doesn't have to have a name she says, but it just has to be incredibly bright and colorful and you have to be able to see a 3 mm polyp from across the room. Thousands later and here we are. Best of luck, sounds like you are going to be out of it for awhile LOL.

In all fairnes to my wife, it is great that she has adopted my obsession of almost 30 years.
