How many tanks do you have?

[jwight]

From my experience wondering around this site and posting a few questions I have discovered that everyone feels that set up a new tank is easy and costs nothing. Now my questions to everybody is how many tanks do they have? total amount excluding holding tanks.

[Dave76]

I think you need a 7+ option.

I've got 12 up & running at the moment, currently setting up another one, have 2 others on the waiting list and 4 sitting in the shed waiting for a bigger house :)

8x2x2 - planted Discus community
4x18x18 - planted tetra & Cory
4x18x18 - breeding Labidochromis freibergi colony
2x18x18 - Labidochromis freibergi fry
2x18x18 - Labidochromis sp "hongi" juvis
2x18x18 - Neolamprologus pulcher
2x18x18 - Protomelas Annectens trio
4 2x18x18 - lots of guppies - until the Discus grow up a bit :)
1ft hex - betta & corys
6x1x24 - marine tank - cycling
4x1x24 - marine tank - cycling
double 3ft hex- empty - either marine or more Discus
4 2x18x18 empty waiting for more space / hospital tanks.

as per Dave's comment, a 7+ category is needed...

actually, so is a 10+ and a 20+

mmmmm, come to think of it... a 30+ might be an idea

[jwight]

You should all come together and open the most successful Aquarium shop in history where you can breed and propagate all your stock. As for me newbie compared to you guys
48 x 18 x 40 community tank Angels
48 x 18 x 20 soon to be established discus tank
16 x 8 x 8 neons species planted show tank.

Hard enough to nag for the third tank let alone 20+

What you all talking about a 7+ category there is a 7+.

Let me know if you do open a shop nice to seee a person run a shop that knows what there doing around my area (except seaview aquariums the legend of all shops)

[Mattzilla]

i got a 3x2x1.5
and two 2x2x2

hoping to get more soon.....but aren't we all!!!

[wyldchyld01]

my tanks are in the fish house, air driven, heated in three tanks to 30 degrees which holds the rest of the fish at 24-27 depending on height of tank in the room, way too much water to think of tanks breaking and heart break of losing so many fish, i love my hobby

1 6x2x2 grow out
2 6x18x18 discus bb tanks
4 4x18x18 discus, qt, cori's and electric yellows/blues/occelatus
4 1x18x18 fry and food tanks
4 4x36x18 custom tanks (filters inbuilt) various uses

1 4x18x18 octagonal display planted tank (the only one allowed in the house on a canister filter although i might be allowed the yellows and blues to come in also but they are on diy air driven filter)

[chris_d]

its amazing the amount of tanks you all have...considering the time it takes to maintain them. being a newbie i have one 3ft and that 's already a workload....

[Essayons89]

Nah, it's not that bad. My tanks usually take me 2-2.5 hours to clean depending on whether or not I have to trim and replant.

Took me 4 hours to do the maintenance on 14 tanks.;)
