How to keep peace in the saltwater household.

[karazy]

lolz, for me its an issue of dealing with my parents

you have to do things like:

start by asking for lets say, a 20 gallon, and then either come home with something bigger, or just say it fits in the space better.

or, you do the ol' switcheroo.while the parents are out, you hide the 5 gallon and go get a 10 gallon, they wont notice :P

surprisingly the first method works. my reef which i am still currently building started out with "mom, i really like fish, and i have them at dads house. can i just get a goldfish bowl here?"

hehehehe

o, and one more thing. always try to show your parents that you ARE learning things by doing it.
