thanks christy. i just sent u a pm with some more options to add. i tried to edit my first post but it didnt allow me to add more options. sorry guys there should have been more options. christy will hook us up and then it should be better.

i could sit in front of my tank for hours on end and just stare. the wife doesnt understand why i have to be so close when watching it but i love to find new things growing or watching the livestock up close

Colin, are you my long lost twin? If I got ant closer to the glass I would get wet. I seem to be addicted to staring into my tank after the lights go out. I must look like a super geek with my red head lamp on and my face plastered to the glass.

Haha. Nice.

Raise your hand if you've actually accidentally smashed your nose or forehead into the glass because you keep moving closer and closer?

*raises hand*

Actually...one thing that I intend to do is to buy my way onto one of those deep sea submersibles someday. That's right there with going to space, and has to be a bit safer!

I voted for all 4 because I'm guilty of splurging excessively on any or all at least once in the past.
