Okay, here's what you do for the reefer who has everything.. Go out and buy yourself a mermaid costume. Preferably with a coconut bra (bonus points for that). Fill up that 300g that's just sitting around with nice warm water. When you see him come home from work jump in the tank and wave your tail around. What you two do after that is up to you, but this forum loves pictures and videos. Just saying.

I'm waiting for the boyfriend to make a second account and see the newbie first post on here with a new Luxim Seashine lighting system or something. haha

But seriously, everyone has long term plans for the tank, hinting at finding out his next step might be the best bet. Failing that, i think the mermaid idea is by far the best suggestion yet.

here is my take this they have a 140g and a 300g not yet set up due to lack of space and money. which i can understand not cheap to get started. if you reallly want to surprise him this is my thought.sit back do a take on your living space and contemplate what space you can spare for him to set up his 300g tank.

once you have foundthis space (since your willing tospend under 1k...) get him a visa gift certificate for however much you wish. stick the gift certificate in or under furnature box you get the idea and tie a string to it. thread the sting around the house to the entry point when he comes inthe door. with a note follow me.

a: youo will surprise the hellout of him.. and give him a littll estart up money to slowly set up his 300g.. and maybe he may shut down the 140 to gain back space for you.


just my thought

I really don't know how he'll react to the mermaid costume and coconut bras, I think he'll just laugh!
Talking about one who has everything, last night after I did some searching and digging, I just realized how lucky this dude is, ipod, iphone, MacBook Pro, all the new gadgets, you name it he has it! Time to clamp him down I guess!
