Default How Many Tanks are you currently running?

Curious as to how many people here have more than one tank going? Not sure how to make the poll with various options, sizes, one or more sump systems, total systems etc. So will keep it to the number of tanks only.
Feel free to comment on what you have and how you keep things under running.

I am currently only running one tank, but in the past I have run at most two. I once had a 120g "frag" tank in the basement. That one failed miserably because I just wasn't down stairs enough to maintain it. Nor did I want to go downstairs to maintain it.

Then I got this bright idea to plumb a second ("FOWLR") tank to my main 150g reef. This worked out alright because everything was plumbed into one sump which meant that I only needed to do one water change, change one skimmer, media reactors, etc. Ultimately this tank didn't work out for me either because I had built it way too tall. The tank was only 18" front to back so, in an effort to capture more water volume I made it super tall at 28" high! That was a huge mistake because every time I needed to get into the tank my shoulder was completely submerged and I could still barely reach the bottom of the tank. Stupid t-rex arms.. So now I'm down to just the one main 150g mixed reef but have been mulling the idea of setting up a FOWLR in the basement. I'm hoping that someone can talk some sense into me though..

One tank right now but I am upgrading in a couple months and what I'm drawing up is a 24x24x12 DT and a 20x20x10 frag tank on one custom stand. I already have the glass for both just need to get stand built

I have two but only want one, the second was a compromise to get the first.
