yes, it may be possible to have two, I just don't know, so just taking the cautious side and thinking it would not go well...

thanks and yeah i have had a fish problem forever my room mate nad girlfriend about at wits end with me ( but i dont talk about them that much ( maybe mention my new fish or new tank but thats it ) and i only spend time watching my tnaks with great intensity when they are both to busy to hang out with so there made at me for cleaning the tanks ......or feeding the tanks ( thats mainly what they see) ..then again my room mate hates new tanks coming home and my girlfirend hates the nise of the flowing water at night ( when your in the middle of 3 tanks the filters are quiet but you can hear the water)
