Is it just me, or does everyone stress out when decorating their tank, Im surely not the only person that sits there stressing, trying to make the tank look as good as possible, and safe for all my fish.
It can take me up to an hour deciding where to put the stuff inside the tank (large flower pot, plants, small slate)
I'd like to know, who else takes along time decorating their tank?

Well I am glad it ain't just me
i started a water change about 3 hours ago and after doing the water change, I'm still sitting here trying to decide how to do my tank, I tend to change my tank round every couple of weeks and its due a move around now, I just cant get my head around it.
HELP!!!

You ain't as bad as me then, my misses goes mad at me, telling me in going crazy, i'll move it 2cm back and forth for hours, just to make it look right and safe for the fish, in the last hour, i have managed to find a nice spot for the large plant pot and placed some slate underneath (inside) it.
now all i have to do, is find out where im going to put my oscean rock and plants.
i should be done within the next 5 hours

Argh stop it, you got my misses laughing at me now.
she thinks I'm going crazy
I don't care, as long as the tank looks nice and the fish are happy and healthy that's all that matters.
I'll be back in 5 hours once I'm finished ok

i find it takes a lot longer to find the right pieces for the tank than the actual placement of it. the last itme i bought drifwood for my tank it took about 3 weeks to find the pieces and only about 15 minutes to place them in the tank.
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all
