Well, I was going to get my wifey here something like a necklace with diamonds or a new ring! But instead, she fell in love with a little puppy, so I asked her if she wanted it, that could be her anniversary present. As for me, I always wanted a 8 foot tank, but the regular standard dimensions were too huge to even get it into our place, so she asked if I wanted another 4 foot tank 
And ofcourse, I wanted a 4 foot tank to set right next to my other 4 foot tank =) at least it'll look like an 8 foot!
Anyways, I didn't want her to spend a fortune for it, so I slowly picked up my equipment piece by piece, but she definitely like that fact of brand new instead! Anyways, this is my first time buying all the used equipment, I promised her it'll look good at the end even though they're used, but she doesn't quite believe me! But hey, I'm the type of people who's willing to spend as much money as I can on others rather than myself!
Used tank from MyKiss $70
(Thanks for shipping it over here and resealing it)
Rena XP3 + Fluval 203 + Fluval 303 $80 - I paid for this, as I told her someone didn't want it and gave it to me, don't want her spending!
(It was used in a salt water tank, need to clean it like crazy, is this too much of an overkill for a planted tank?)
Coralife T5 N/O Double Strip And Single Strip - Own it
(Was on my old tank, bought new lighting for it instead, been sitting around)
Stingray 48x12 Black $175 including shipping
(No one sells it local, so we made the purchase online instead)
All in total, she spent $245 =) Kinda glad!
I told her I don't need gravel or anything, but I'm actually heading to JLaquatics tomorrow so she doesn't have to buy it! And instead of her buying all the extra like drop checkers and everything, I've ordered a few things on eBay so she wouldn't know unti it arrives!
Anyways, here's HER present, and this is mine! It's in my car port, currently working on it as we speak! And my motorcycles in the back as a size reference! =) If anyone was wondering, she's only 21 i think, so this might make it more understanding why I rather spend my money instead of hers!
