+JoseZ Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 After having a rough day today from sittin in traffic, check engine light, then stubbing my toe after dropping and breaking my garlic extract bottle then cutting my finger on the glass......my girlfriend tells me something I thought I'd never hear! "I was staring at your tank for a while and I want to get a small tank of my own." I couldn't believe what I was hearing but it didn't surprise me that she finally realized what she was missing out on! Although she said she really just wants something similar to the small tanks she's seen at RCA its good to finally have her on board. I really just wanted to share this because it really did turn my day completely around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaarrrggg Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yay gratz! Does she know what she'd like stock wise yet? Us girlies usually like the big bright softies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardx322 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's awsome I wish I could get my girlfriend to want a tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JoseZ Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Ha that's funny because she said she wants some bright corals mostly not too sure about fish wise yet. But yea she went from "you bought another fish/coral/etc" to "I want my own tank". It really is uplifting for her to be showing more interest. She's actually sitting next to me on google looking up corals asking me about terminology. Not that I'm much of an expert lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migs Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 congrats! I actually have an Eco Pico from RCA on my desk at work.. have some Japanese Dendros, mushrooms, and a frogfish... very sweet tank. Can always switch the frogfish for gobies (yasha) and pistol shrimp... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+brian.srock Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 You can always buy her a dozen duncans for valentines My wife gave me a certificate which said I get the green light to finish up my stand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JoseZ Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 I was actually thinking of a similar gift like a small tank maybe a pico. Her birthday is on Sunday with valentines day pretty much right after so this time of the year gets pretty expensive, not that I'm complaining. She's worth every penny! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austx Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Congrats! I'm currently in the works of getting my previous tank [34g Solona] up and running for my fiancee. She wants a clown tank after looking over Aaarrrggg's thread of course! Just need to find a stand for that tank now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerrickH Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 New tank, new stand, new lights, new rock, new sand, new livestock. She would say Im starting over. The cycle is the worst part. Nothing like an empty tank sitting there to bug the *ell out of ya... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad Robin is in this with me. Without her the rock work would look like crap and little peices of broken coral would be all over the sandbed.
