so you want a 30k build and a reed ready wife? now your pushing it lol
My girlfriend actually thinks my hobby is cute and told me when we get a place together I can have a tank!

She also doesn't want kids so maybe I can convince her the fish are our kids. The only issue is we do take some last minute trips so feeding them may be an issue.
