Of course you can bargain with sex, that's how every marriage works! Well, in the early years...*sigh*...TBH we have too much tank maintenance to do now to worry about nookie LOL

My wife has lots of ways to persuade me to buy her stuff, can't really post them here. 
When I need to buy stuff for my jetski, I do the usual, flowers, wine, dinner, then casually drop into the conversation that I just spent £400 on a piece of metal for my jetski engine to make it go faster, 'more wine dear'

I found buying him an X-Box 360 worked very well in making him come to the decision we really needed a big royal plec...

I don't ask anymore he just says no there's no room. I had a 10 gal. needed a hospital tank. He said no . I got one and set it up. He didn't notice it for a few days but finally did. Where did THAT come from he said. I told him the tank fairy brought it.
A month later I noticed we were outgrowing the 10 gal and my son also wanted a tank. He still said no. I got a 20 gal free and set it up where the 10 gal was and put the 10 gal in sons room. He didn't notice the difference for quite a while. It sits on his dresser. I figure its my back, my time and my responsibility.
P.S. I'm planning on another one soon but I'll ask before I get it.

My husband has said no way to having another one.
I have come to the realisation that I just cant have another one with a daughter and another baby on the way.
I have to many pets to look after as well
But to get this one that I have now, I had to go through alot of tears, yelling, fighting etc, but of course, as usual, I got my own way!

don't be a twit
honey, if your husband is on the forum and he still says "no more tanks", then you ain't gonna get more tanks.
unless you can figure out a way to get him to build you a fishroom

Last year I moved out to live with my boyfriend in student accomodation, we already knew we could only live there for a year but I brought an aquarium anyway so that when I moved back home my parents would have no choice but to let me keep it!!
I have a 3ft aquarium at college with 2 amazing fancy goldfish in. I really wanna take it home at the end of year...I need to think of an excuse for that one...

Bah, there's no asking... all of a sudden more tanks are set up. (the honey does it to me!) I don't care as long as he'll do the work to go with it... but new ones pop up and morph all the time.
