michaelandbrittany Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I am really keen on getting an 8x2x2 as my next set up, but the only problem is, is the mrs says the largest I can get is a 6x2x2 haha. So in short, how can I convince her to let me get an 8ft without ending up alone haha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich-mahogany Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Buy an 8ft and when she comments that it looks bigger than a 6ft, tell her she's dreamin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTank88 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 My motto with the wife is ...forgiveness is easier then permission. Next time just buy the 8 foot and work on a good make up present. Now uve asked uve got no chance lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelandbrittany Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I would but she knows how big they are haha. I used to have a 6 ft. If worse comes to worse, I think ill try that, not as if tho she can make me take it back haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidwife Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 another option is to tell her, that it was so heavy, when you tried to drag it of your ute ''it stretched'' i think she can accept that answer mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquaholic99 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 just get a 10 foot and then when she objects, you can downsize to an 8 foot. or get a 6 foot x 6 foot square tank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
