MickS77 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) When did you know you were a NERM? I bought this ottoman from ikea for the express purpose of sitting in front of my aquariums in this room 🤣 the space is too small for a good chair Edited October 14, 2020 by MickS77 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alesha Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I use a wheelchair to sit at my desk (long story🙄😏), but I use it to roll between tanks, to sit and gaze. So much to learn as we sit quietly. 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouseturd13 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I keep having to pull my piano bench over to the tank lol. Gonna have to find something smaller and more convenient soon. You just can't beat sitting in front of the tank! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDukeAnumber1 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The day I had to limit myself was when I knew. I limit myself to x storage space and no more, and x tank space and no more. A reasonable amount of space to fulfill my passion for the hobby AND keep myself within the realm of the Nerms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Cory Posted October 14, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 14, 2020 We joined the nerm life when we removed a love seat from the living room to setup another tank. I used logic of, I’ll use that tank every day. The loveseat only get used when we have guests... that was like 12 years ago. The rest is history.

Andy's Fish Den Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I have a 93 gallon tank in our bedroom, I'll tell the wife and kids I have a headache and need to lay down for a little bit just so I can lie on the bed and watch the fish! 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now im in the loop...And im not 100% sure how to answer the question now...i dont have a bunch of tanks...i keep male bettas..but im a strictly one fish at a time person.....but its my main thing in life. I have been without a fish since march and im dying....but dont think i dont have all new equipment and a fancy tank just waiting...cause i do. Maybe it was that time i dedicated a PowerPoint in college to my fish....or the time my now ex husband wouldnt give me money (i wasnt working) for a tank (i had just realized bettas arent bowl fish) so i did that walmart thing where you scan your receipt and they give you a few cents back if anothers store sale price was lower than what they charged you....i saved it up and ordered a tank...didnt tell anyone....when it showed up i said you cant argue with a free tank! And its just gotten worse from there. One of my bettas actually changed the course of my life. I love the bettas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starsman20 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Moved the pool table and put the corner piece of the sectional in what I used to call the game room but is now the fish room. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binkysmom Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I got rid of the TV in the living room to make room for another tank. I watch everything on my computer anyway. Also setting up 1 - 2 gallon snail bowls for co-workers (upon their request) with 2 - 3 ramshorns and plant cuttings. They've become popular at my work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
