As for the wife, thanks for the tip ! I'm planning strategy for a new tank already -tell me if you think this will fly:

Wife: " What's with the big new tank in the living room ?"
Me: " New tank !? What new tank ?"
Wife: <sarcastic look on her face>"The big, new glass thing with water in it.."
Me: <puzzled look like she's nuts> "It's the same tank -I just did a big water change and the clean water increases the refraction index making the tank appear bigger. I could explain refraction to you -but it's pretty technical"
Wife: "Uh-huh. And the ridiculously bright lights over it ?"
Me: "oh...uhh...yeah, those are new -but they weren't expensive
Wife:" Right. Any idea why the electrical meter is spinning so fast ? Should it be making a high pitched whine like that ?"

Let me know how that goes.

Lot's of good deals on Canreef right now.
