Where is the "Way to f-ing many" option :lol: It might not be so bad if they were all smaller tanks but multiple big ones is a PITA.

Smallest to biggest all saltwater

2.5g nano
34g cube
80g P.O.S.
230g reef
230g folwr
260g reef (Doug's)

I've got 2, 55 and 180, but the 55 was supposed to get shut down when I upgraded. Didn't have the heart to do it, now both look half stocked and haven't focused on one more than the other. Both will get there eventually....

I've never focused more on one or the other, I go through phases with them. Although for the most part now they are fully stocked. I have multiples due to my love of all types of fish. Unfortunately many of them can't be kept together, which for me, has resulted in different tanks to house them in. I have been debating shutting some down and downsizing (to save some money) but it would be very difficult to choose which fish to keep and which to sell as I like them all.

I run a 106g and one 20g QT tank. I'll be setting up a 20g frag tank soon.

I have a 220gal Reef
20 G Q Tank
65 gal FW tank for discus
and two other tanks waiting to be sold

Start one, get it some what the way I want it. Start another, get it some what where I want it, then go back to the first one & completely re build it & get it some what where I want it. Then start another one get it some what where I want it, go back to the 2nd one & re build it................and so on and so on.....it's a visious cycle that I hope to break with the 300 build.

I have 3 right now;

75GSalt
12G Fluval Edge FW
1G Betta

I'm already planning my next tank: an in-wall 72" 150-180 gallon 1pc Euro braced starphire with coast to coast overflow and a 75-100 gallon sump.

Sounds cool, except that no one will see the one piece if it's in wall?

Currently have a 20g with 2 occ clowns, purple dottyback, fire shrimp, peppermint shrimp, a couple hermits and about 10 snails. Currently have a 75 gal cycling and anxiously awaiting fish. Wife has stopped me at 2 tanks. So she thinks. :biggrin:

A 180g with 50g sump

A a 50g with a 33 g sump

And soon a frag/qt tank of uncertain gallons still in planning stage

2 tanks. A 9gal DIY cube (12x12x15) SW. And a 3 gallon extra long diy SW tank. (20x6x6). I have a wife that maintains a strict budget!! So everything is small, low wattage (LEDs, power conditioners ei.north American power is "dirty" so an evened out power source keeps equipment lasting longer. Very simple setups!)
