Sarah Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Dad made me a stand to put all my small tanks on, so my barracks can fit into my room. It's about 3ft long, and 6ft high - lots of room! Think I now have room for wilds I have wanted for too long. Piccies. A few of the Bettas are in those tanks, most are elsewhere, waiting to go in. The little 'lotls are in the blue tubs - Lindo on the left, Hambriento on the right. Very lucky to have such a handy dad!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Nut Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Looks like he did a good job on it. I like stands with lots of shelves. It's amazing just how many tanks you can make room for on them. My dad is my official 'heavy tank lifter' and 'floor reinforcer' :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks Ashlea, as do I! I love it! Lots of room. Thanks Adam. Lord Froggyton, my frog lives in there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 You are very lucky Sarah. Looks like you can fit a few more tanks in yet. :-P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Indeed I am, and yes - definitely want a wild tank. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Had permission from dad to get another tank for wilds, was very very happy. Then later I commented something about my future-wilds, and he replied with "What do you mean another tank?" I told him he had agreed to it earlier, I guess he wasn't paying attention. Jarrod - that glazed over look non-fish people get, where you then have the power to persuade them into more tanks, etc --- it works... just when they find out again later on they change their mind. Shame. I think I better wait a while and work on it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiameseFightingFist Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Very lucky to have such a handy dad!! Nice, looks like a professional job! Think I now have room for wilds I have wanted for too long. Did your dad know this before he offered to build the stand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Did I hear someone say wilds!!!! A whole stand of tanks for wilds? maybe? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks Fisty, dad is a carpenter, very good at making stuff! Why, he even built our house. As for knowing about the wilds, I have brought it up in the past, he always just said I "didn't have room... might be different if I did". Well, now I have space.. he didn't say no, just laughed it off - which always means I'll eventually be able to get it. I'm so spoilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks Jarrod! Haha, why of coarse. I better give it some time though. Mum's just shaking her head, commenting on how pretty my room used to be before the tanks came along. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
