New tank

[normc]

My wife has agreed that I need a new tank for the discus fish so I going to get 120 gal 
I'm going to start looking tomorrow. She wants to keep the diamond corner tank (60) so we are moving it to the living room and throwing out the badly worn love seat   I may need some help setting up the tank.

Nice normc! Good luck with that and you BETTER post some pictures as you progress! Do you plan on buying bare and building stand and canopy and whatnot? Or are you going to get a complete set-up? Which 120g are you going to get, dimensions wise? I personally would go for the 48x24x24 (I think thats right) one better. There is a nice 120g with oak stand and glass canopy Oceanic tank at superpet barrhaven that I wanted to get a while ago, but the price was too high at the time (it was for my snake). I believe its $1399.00 for tank, stand, glass canopy, and fluorescent light strip. Buy it and sell it to me cheaper! If you havent bought one in the next few weeks I may have a 120g bare for you.

Well now, there is half the battle norm, getting permission from the wiser one. It sounds as though the discus will love you for it, I'm sure you have plans for stocking the 60 as well.

Should you be looking for help in setting up, I'm usually pretty good about standing nearby and making stern faces and postulating theories on unrelated events.

Have fun shopping around for a spouse approved 120.

Babble you are always so helpful. LOL

I know for a fact, you do a lot more than that, Babble.
The discus', cardinals and pencils thank you for that.

[washefuzzy]

Congrad on 120gals to come. I too dream of owning one one day!

[normc]

Babble I will need you help with the substrate I'm thinking of following your advise.

[Crumpet]

Yay Norm!  The discus will be so happy 

Let me know when you want to set 'er up -- I'd love to help out

[babblefish1960]

Interesting idea Norm, I see mud in your future, and with Crumpy helping, I'm sure we should have some very good pies, mud of course. Happy discus are what we are all about here!

[catfishsteve]

WOW  she wants you to move a tank to the living room AND get rid of a love seat! AND buy a bigger tank!
You're good! I'd be willing to help, and bring beer. If you tell me your secret 

P.s. is your wife related to Gmann's?

[FishPassion]

Congrats on your ummmm secret...

Congrats Norm on the new project and I fear that tank purchase pre-approval hides something along the lines of... Honey, now that you got your tank, maybe we should remodel the kitchen lol 

Have fun setting that up

[bitterman]

Norm, why not go for a 125/135 instead? Its a more standard side and gives more options later on. Or even better go with a 215/230

You should see Loyeds show tank its a 215/250, Discus, cories, bn's, angels etc etc!!! Lots of plants soooo nice!

I can help, too. I'm quite good at giving orders and criticizing Babble.

[babblefish1960]

Well, in that case, I'd like to help out too, just to see Fishy and Babble go at it.
Like I said before, "are these two married, to each other"
