dammit, just when i thought i got away…
part of me really doesn’t want to setup a new fish tank. it’s like having a girlfriend, once you are single you remember how simple life becomes. (haha!) but really, the main nuisance of having a fish tank is the (in)ability to leave it alone for long stretches. you have to worry about equipment failing and your fish staying fed and the power staying on and all kinds of shit.
but the other part of me can’t let go. these things are just too damn cool. like my own little slice of ocean. so i’m doing some thinking about a downsized setup that’s city-life friendly. small, about 20 gallons, and simple equipment that doesn’t need constant fiddling. a drilled tank for sure, so i don’t have to worry about coming home to a waterfall. simple all-in-one lighting so no more hanging crap from the ceiling. (kinda hard now that it’s 20′ high!) oh and it’s time to go back to budget reefing too. san francisco is expensive!
i wonder how long i can control the urge. hopefully at least until i pay off my credit cards…
Why not just invest in a pair of swim goggles and go out to the real ocean?
Isn’t that why people spend so much money to live in CA ?
I was gonna say just look out the window. I could understand when you were here why you had it, but there is just more of the same, unless you wanna recreate the aquatic environment of the Gulf.
(the pacific ocean at california is COLD)
maybe if i lived in mexico or something
yeah well it is hot here. shut up.
