Baller Living Rooms Need Fish Tanks: Tips

So you bought or are renting a new crib, you’ve got your place mostly set up with all the latest electronics, from a 52 inch flat screen LCD to a surround sound system. You’ve got the “Scarface” movie poster framed and mounted on the wall, you’ve got the lava lamp going, you seem to have it all set up for the perfect baler living room. Well, think again. If you really want to set your living room apart in true baller style you’ve got to set up a baller fish tank.

The first step to setting up a baller fish tank is to pick the perfect spot to put the tank. The best place is usually behind a couch or on the wall away from the TV. You don’t want the light or movement in the tank to distract you from the TV so try to put the tank a little ways away.

Another big choice is deciding how big of a tank you want to go with. If you are a true baller you will spare no expense and get a 50 or 100 gallon tank. You’ve got to make sure the size of your tank really puts the wow-factor into your guests and friends when they walk into your living room so make sure you’ve got one of the biggest tanks in the neighborhood.

The next thing to consider is the type of fish to put in your tank. A real baller tank has to have some cool looking fish, goldfish just won’t do the trick. Ladies don’t respect man with goldfish, that’s what my grandpap used to say. So what kind of fish should you get? I suggest any fish with the word “shark” attached to their name like Bala Sharks, Redtail Sharks or Columbian Sharks, but not Rainbow Sharks, that’s just fruity. Once you’ve got your sharks loaded up the tank it’s always baller to feed them live food. You can get live shrimp at your local fish store. Not only is it cool to watch them feed but it will be healthier for them as well.

That’s about it. The only other thing you need to perfect your baller fish tank set up is to throw some cool stuff in the tank like a sunken ship or cool rocks. After that you’re good. You’ve got a baller fish tank for your living room.

Improving the efficiency of heating water with a holding tank?

How does adding a small (40 gallon), efficient holding tank (like a Maraathon or Stiebel Eltron) along side my exisitng system improve the efficiency of heating domestic hot water (I use heating oil to heat my water)?

You said it - it makes no sense. The coil in your oil-fired hot water boiler has a better "recovery" rate than any seperate hot water heater and any other type of fuel. And, the more water you have to "keep" hot, the more fuel you consume on "stand-by". All this would do is provide additional back-up reserve that you'll probably never need. If you don't have a current problem with hot water supply running short, don't mess with it. To me, people who put out these kinds of ideas are just out to sell another gimmick.
