It's probably wisest to inform my wife before coming home with a new 50" Plasma flatscreen TV...those that say it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission didn't marry my wife. Ha.

Until I plugged it in and turned it on, then she seemed fine. :-)

As a musician, and more than that a tech geek and aquarium keeper, well, I have expensive hobbies, so I am thankful to have somebody that helps me keep myself in check.

Is it a saltwater aquarium?

No, all three are freshwater. I have kept salt water before...with freshwater you get the luxury of breeding, which the kids love and makes me a few bucks, salt water is beautiful, but incredibly expensive.

Gotcha...the saltwater tank has been tried in my family. We don't speak of these things any more; other than to warn others of impending doom.

Ah, no luck, huh? I had good luck, fish did well, my roommate had one too, but keeping them is much more work than Fresh!

We had some luck. Got the saltwater tank working great in the winter but then summer came and we learned the hard way that chilling is just as important as heating, even in Colorado. 110 gallons of failure...

"a musician, and more than that a tech geek and aquarium keeper"

Talk about a glut for punishment, but I understand I had to give up the love of the aquariums myself. But thanks to the history channel I've learned that I'm also a "picker" and not a pack rat. Now to work on the other two.

I can't believe you would spend that kind of money <TV power switch on, click> of all of the irresponsible.......... things............. You have ever................. What channel is this on? Can you turn that up?

You know, if you we move the one out of the bedroom........
