It's all my wife's fault

you fellas crack me up
Great story! I wonder what my excuse is though
You shouldn't make up excuses... As a woman- you should be accepting the blame for any mistake some might perceive your husband to have made
/ I'm joking in case anyone gets upset!
The V, I'm really surprised you didn't arrive home with the 72g corner bowfront with the 3 wpg lighting and the Eheim 2217 filter and the 6 bags of Eco-complete and the stack of plants. After all, you'll be needing them as soon as the floor is done next week. Might as well as you have such a good excuse.
Actually, to save yourself some grief, maybe that should be the welcome home present.
Oh, and it wasn't my idea. :grinno:

He has a good point...
... according to western-religion all sins are equal- so you might as well have gone all out.
I love it. When we had a 29 g and a 55 g, my hubby wanted a 125 g. I finally said yes, but I made him get rid of the smaller tanks. Now years later the tank number is starting to climb, but this time it isn't his fault because he never has anything to do with the tanks now. My son's goldfishes need a new tank and I'm like we'll get a 38 gallon and then I look around and then say I can get a 55 gallon for XX amount of dollars, then If I'm going spend that much on a 55, I might as well get the 75 gallon etc. The longer my oldest son is home the longer I have to think which tank I'm getting.. all for two feeder goldfish that he won at a carnival.
My husband says, "It's always my fault just learn to except it". When I'm mad at him he says' to me I know it's his all fault. I'm so confused who's fault is it?

Patience is a lesson that we need to learn here. If any of you have read Patrick McManus' "Sequences" you will understand that I am permanently trapped in their gaping vortex.
Now my wife has told me many times that she doesn't want an ugly planted tank. I showed her the pictures from that planted tank aquascaping contests and she told me to do one like those (she does ask very little of me).
I have learned a few things about growing plants in aquaria with this 15 gallon experimental. However I did have that spirogyra outbreak so severe that one of the more crude members on this site commented "It looks like the jolly green giant took a dump in the tank." Very vulgar and rude person. Only 50% of the tank was covered in algae jeez...
Because of my wifes mandate I am going to be forced to to gain experience with aquascaping. This will mean many hours of time researching and studying what to grow, how to grow it, what substrates work etc. It will also give me time to allow the plants to grow and do some propagation so that I don't start with a barren wasteland in the show tank.
Now if in the course of this journey I find the need for several more supplies to effectively learn needed techniques for the show tank I may again find myself at the local LFS.
Besides I still have to tile the kitchen. kitchette, 2 more bathrooms, and the front entry way (complete with a custom made...by me... round mosaic). BTW does anyone know how to make a mosaic? I don't have the two grand to buy the one my wife likes. I do have a niftly little tile saw. And then I get to landscape all of the yards. Adding in the pond will be quite the chore. I might not get to it for a couple of years. I do have to remove the basketball court first.
My current estimate for buying the show tank is sometime in June 2014. I might be a little ambitious with my plans however.
All this to do while attempting to finish my M.S. degree and working full time.. Maybe I'll just go read a book.
