Sooooo.....10 weeks in and on my 3rd tank....this one is officially going to be titled "Lost My Mind".
What started as a betta in a 1.5 gallon for my 4 year old, quickly turned into a 26G Bow Front....and then an ADA 45P......well.....I've learned a life lesson over the years. "do things right, the first time.....and buy the best you can afford" (otherwise you end up doing things at least twice from my experience).
This is going to be a very slow build to start, we just closed on a new house and won't move in for almost a month. But figured i'd start a journal as I start collecting everything.
I've got two toddlers at home, and a stay at home wife. I work roughly 70-80 hours a week and travel a good amount. I find whatever I can to keep my sanity....up until I got into fish 10 weeks ago the two most relaxing things for me were:
1. Washing my cars
2. Getting on an airplane with now wifi
Staring and playing with my fish tanks has quickly joined the list.
