    Yup, a 90g reef, a 10g reef and a 10g FW here. FW is going to go, replaced by a 15g tall reef and then I want to add a 20g long mantis tank. My man-cave, also, is filled with that which the aquarist needs. And the train set. And the drum kit. And all the other musical accessories.

    We just got a new car. My wife told me she wanted to put it in the garage. I said no, that is my room. She asked me if my fish stuff and train set was more important than her car. I made a mistake. I said one word. I said yes. That was the start to an outstanding night.......But........I got to keep my room. So far.

    Call me an addict here too. It goes with the 3reef banner "Addicted?" lol
    I have so many spare parts now, it's not even funny. I placed an order with Marine Depot before Xmas and realized I ordered 2 Koralias when I don't even need them. I can use them when I get my 65G setup for my gf, but I have 2 skimmers, many pumps, 2 canister filters just sitting there now and who knows what else. I am reminded of this crazy addiction every month when I get my credit card statement. :p

    In the time since I first started this post this morning, I have collected yet another 55g, lights, heater, 80+ lbs of LR, a stand, skimmer, and a wet/dry. There is also a large cabinet full of stuff I didn't even look through.

    Thank goodness it was all free--taking someone else's problem off their hands!

    This is so funny, I'm thinking of making my 20 or 29 gallon fw into a saltwater tank to add to my 55---I think I need help. I also have a huge supply of fw and sw stuff, you never know when you may need that old light or other piece of equipment. I think I'm a packrat!!

    I just read this thread with a cup of coffee....I think we can all relate !

    I too am guilty of setting up too many tanks and accumulating too much "stuff". I always say....I am going to ebay that....just havn't ever gotten around to it !

    Someday, after the next nuclear holocaust, some of us will be called upon to re-populate the world with fish tanks...
