LOL, I think he's insinuating that you're "waffling" on your no-more-tanks decision...
But really, what's 1 (or 2, or 3) more :-) :hyper:

I can't wait to hit that PetsMart again to see if they have received another shipment of those tanks. What's 6 more tanks between friends? lol Now if only they'd put the 40+ gallon tanks on sale like that! Oh how I would love to pay $55-60 for a brand new 75 gallon tank.

Am I the only one not enamored with the 20 long? I can't think of any situation in which I would not rather be using a 29, which is the same footprint, but a bit taller. Keeps the true gallonage up, uses the same hoods, lights, stands, etc. After I saw a 29 I never wanted a 20 long again.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

I'm not a fan of massively deep tanks... I have short arms and when tanks are on stands, it can be awkward has a contortionist to give them a thorough cleaning, redecorating or whatever else. That and I also have a hard time making the top look useful. I hate tanks that are stocked on the bottom and the top is just empty; looks boring and wasted.

You're just all around short :lol: I prefer long tanks too. Sometimes just getting a bigger tank doesn't work for the situation.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

Nick I like em because the shallow allows for light to reach the substrate without loosing intensity. I also think the low long tanks look awesome I would love to have a 72x18x18


Flutter and Camero95 Can't you guys just yell into the other room to each other
