========================
Learn from a real fish addict. When I went to these back home in NY I left
my checkbook and cards at home along with all but $10 in cash. This $10 was
all I allowed myself to spend. If I had access to MONEY in any form I would
go home with my car packed to the roof with more aquarium hobby related
stuff than I needed - including fish.

Oh to have that level of willpower :-) ....to actually remove the cards
when going near an LFS...sadly I can't bring myself to do it...Looking
forward to the major spending spree to set up the new tank :-)

Funny, most women have shopping issues for buying clothes etc...not a
major weakness for me...get me near an LFS and woops....

19 tanks and counting, husband won't let me have the car very often cause he
knows where I will end up, called my lfs over new year to check if they were
open when they answered he said "is that Michelle?"


Hmmm...so what costs more??? A fish addiction or a designer clothing
addiction??? I reckon we are still cheaper to run...and afterall it
enhances the home - LOL

Hello. My name is richard and I suffer from MTS.


LOL - me too, but if I remember correctly you have got it a lot worse
than me :-) I've only got 7 tanks up and running and a new one just
arrived at the LFS which in theory will replace at least one of the
7...hmmmm


Yeah, I've got 7 on the windowsill near my desk. I only have a dozen
others set up inside and a buttload empty out in the barn. I'm running into,
uh, structural limitations and have to do a bit of uh, renov^H^Hdecorating.

You know you've got it bad when the first thing you have to do to set up
your next tank is get a construction permit.

....but I can quit any time.

Doesn't help. Thanks to craigslist there's free fish stuff all over America.

Seriously, check the free stuff listing on craigslist.org, poeple do give
away sometimes not small fishtanks. If your better half catches you quickly flip to
the personals. You'll be in less trouble.

If you mean me there are several users here to vouch for me - I'll name
names if I need to Ross. If you don't mean me then that's cool. Good luck
and later!
