Since you already have the 20g set up with reef lighting, you convert it into a Nemo tank with a nice Bubble Tip Anemone and put it in the den.

casting for people addicted to aquariums

I'm currently casting for a documentary tv series that profiles individuals with hobbies that have turned into obsessions/addictions. If you're aquarium addiction is impacting your life, consider participating in this series. It's psychologically based, and will look at how and why you are obsessed with aquariums. We'll also see what your friends/family have to say about the addiction. We would travel to you, so you wouldn't have to go anywhere! if you'd be interested in participating or hearing more info, please email me at kcox@20west.tv thanks!
