LoL - my entire bedroom is filled with different sized tanks. Two of them are awaiting my husband to finish building me a stand...... waiting.... waiting.... lol - he CERTAINLY DOES NOT have MTS!!!! :P I really have a hard time feeling comfortable displaying them throughout my home as I run a daycare (anyone in Pembroke needing a daycare for their children let me know - I have a couple of openings coming up real soon ;) ), as well as my ow two little ones,  and I have had bad visions lol. At least in my bedroom I can control viewings. ;)

Maybe our OVAS meetings should start this way:

"Hello.. my name is Sean and I have MTS."

Just look at my signature.   :lol:

Where abouts do these meetings take place?? I would only be able to come if they were close to Pembroke. :(

Hi - my name is Shawna - and I'm a fishaholic.  :mrgreen: They say admiting it is the first step to recovery - in this case.... I hope not...ever. Hehehe.

I Also suffer from a severe case of TNBE (TankNeverBigEnough) If anyone would like to see my suffering come to an end - please send me any 40+ tanks. :mrgreen:

Hola. I just stumbled onto this place myself a little while ago. I was talking about fish with a new co-worker and he told me about this place. It's very cool to see other Ottawa people that are so into fish keeping.

Welcome aboard.  Nice to have another person from the area.  If you want a really good selection and great service and info, use Critters Aquarium in Petawawa.  Jen's Pet Palace is pretty good too.  BTW, My name is James, and I have MTS TOO!

LOL.....wait for it........I thought it was a cheap hobby too.  We've been at this for about 6 months and I really hate to think how much money we've spent.  Oh well......nothing but the best for our little fishy friends!   :D ohhhhh we did just recently put out big bucks for a Python and that was probably the best money we've spent as far as equipment goes.  Makes cleaning the tanks so much easier and faster.
Oh and BTW, my name's Laurie (Jame's better half...lol) and I too have MTS.   :wink:

well i know it's not cheap but it's certainly cheaper than building and mainting this thing:
