Hello!

Hi,everyone! I have a 29 gal. bio cube. I've had it up and running about 8 months and I love it!I get hours of enjoyment watching my fish and coral and I can't believe I didn't get into this YEARS ago
I want to get a bigger tank but I haven't convinced my husband yet

Well,I just wanted to introduce myself. I hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend!

That's nice to see. It's usually the husband trying to convince the wife. I'd suggest bringing home some new stereo equipment at the same time (or power tools, big screen TV, X-box. . .whatever he's into). He may not even notice that new 120 gallon tank getting set up in the living room.

I'm with Island Crow on that one. Set it up next to hubby's brand new flat screen and see how he likes it!

Welcome to the hobby. I'm a newbie, too!

To Reef Central
I am just glad that my wife loves the tank. First tank I had she hated it, she was pregnant and getting sick all the time, so that one had to go. 15 years later, and she loves the thing. Just got a call from her saying that she is dripping a new SPS. She also wants a bigger tank, 125 or bigger. So again

To Reef Central
