well over the last week the 5ft tank has been cleaned and moved to the bedroom, with alot of swearing and disgusting language in trying to work away of getting it up the stairs followed by much enjoyment of working out how things work,its now been filled with water and i have just started my fish less cycle which left me with a little time on my hands , so naturally i found myself on ebay looking threw the fish related items when i came across a 60 litre full tank setup and decided that this would be much better for a colony of shrimp to have all to themselves so the order was placed.so in two weeks i have gone from no fish tanks to two fish tanks :yikes:

It won't stop there I'm afraid. Once contracted, MTS is incurable. The only thing that keeps my MTS under control is my husband's insistence that we actually need furniture. And now that he's retired, complaints about the length of time I spend "messing" with three tanks  ;D

I can verify that a nagging other half is generally successful in keeping MTS symptoms in check.  :vcross:

Oh dear I am now a sufferer. I bought my first tank, a 75 litre only a couple of weeks ago so no fish yet. Today I have gone out and bought a 160 litre tank with external filter. Husband thinks we are keeping one or the other but I like them both. HELP!

there is no know cure for MTS yet just a treatment that requires a other half that is not interested in the hobby or a low bank balance

You could try calling the smaller of the two a 'hospital tank' and say that it's something that all responsible fish keepers should have. Might work?
