I was told for my birthday (back a few months in August) that I could set up another tank... That was my only birthday gift... Well, I've spent $0 and pretty much no time even looking into it since I am working on the basement finish. After the basement will be the new deck build in spring. Maybe for my next birthday...

(FYI, I think that my wife was feeling guilty because she got a puppy for her birthday in June. The dog was expensive, the vet initially was pricey, the two emergency vet visits since then were ridiculous (almost $1000 just this past week)... Not to mention she eats everything.... EVERYTHING and need pukes or poops it. We've had a number of accidents, although the dog *tried* to make it outside, that has permanently stained the new carpet in 3 rooms and a hallway in our house.)

This is what a couple grand (after vet bils) gets you these days... This was from when she was about 2.5 months old.
