LMAO!!!!!!!! I've always had the upgrade bug, come on now upgrading 5 times in under a year. I just go overeboard, funny thing was that I though this 65g would be enough and now I have most of the real estate already used up. Anyone want some free corals?!:lol:

 

[Barnacle_Blenny]

Did someone say free coral's be careful before this thread becomes flooded with "PM'd you" replies from all us addicts.

Free??? :bigeyes2: my middLe name is Free...

I always want a bigger tank. It seems like I never have enough room for all the stuff I want to get. It doesn't help when there are things like this for sale: http://www.reefermadness.us/RMD09300077.htm

 

[Reefer420]

No kidding- my 16g is way too small (though its really the only thing I could have fit in my room, or could afford ). I really wanted a 37g Oceanic semi-cube- those things are sweet, but due to poor planning and a lack of funds couldn't get at the time! That will be my next upgrade at some point in the future- but what I wouldn't do for something even bigger! When I think of the $ I have spent on my 16g, I can't imagine affording anything much bigger right now...but I guess spending money of reef tanks is at least healthier than spending it on beer and other stuff...

One day I will have my 800 g. LPS/softie (well, maaaybe some SPS..) semi-cube!!!

btw- here's a link w/ some pretty good sized tanks (i already posted the 800g one..)

one of them is well over 1400g (and the owner still wishes he went bigger..ha).

Got one word to discribe this upgrade bug:

megalomania \meg-uh-lo-MAY-nee-ah; -nyuh\, noun:
1. A mania for grandiose or extravagant things or actions.
2. A mental disorder characterized by delusions of grandeur.

I guess we are all mental!!!
