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 HAVE THREE TANKS RUNNING, one with orchids in it
:razz:

3 for me ATM!!

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.. :neutral:

3 Tanks

1. 190 Gallon Reef DT with 75 gallon sump
2. 50 Gallon QT
3. 90 Gallon soon to be FOWLR tank with 25 gallon sump

I have a 20 gallon long, not sure yet

Now it doesn't way anything about salt so...

1) 120 Gallon SW
2) 240 Gallonish Turtle / Koi pond (Indoor)
3) 10 Gallon FW

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

1. 60 gal dt
2. 25 gal qt
3. 10 gal nursery

Does work count :ppp

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

I think that's it :biggrin:
A bad addiction.

Hi, I have 10, is that too much? Regards Ken

So those with with multliple tanks, do you focus on 1 and get it where you want then start another or do they just happen??

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....

Two, one 77 gallon display and a 44 gallon which is my live rock overflow/ coral bone yard/ penalty box for fish that don't listen.

I am currently running two tanks, a 150G tank and a 28G Nanocube.

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 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.

One word.. MTS.

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!)

at one point, I had 14 personal tanks at home. But that was in college--I was experimenting with stuff. (one experiment, I even tried a FW planted tank with cat litter for clay). Now I only have 3 running and 1 more empty... contemplating...

2 displays plus a quarantine tank :)

I voted that I have 4 but then remembered that I technically have 6. I have a 180 Gallon reef, 300 Gallon FOWLR, 40 gallon Reef, 12 gallon Seahorse tank, 10 gallon quarantine tank and 3 gallon goldfish bowl! :lol:

2 12 G fluval Edges
1 5 G fluval spec
and one freshy!...not really sure how big it is...should find that out...stay tuned!:mrgreen:

120 G reef
45 G reef
29 G soon to be planted fresh water

0 tanks for me! :cry:

cutting down now from 3 to 1........

2 salt (1 reef 1 fowlr). Technically 3 if you count the FW.

In the past (primarily before kids) I think at one point I had 5 or 6 full blown reefs going. No way no how post-kids now!

By the end of march I plan to have
135g mix reef
12g edge
75g frag tank

Now hopefully I can sell all my stuff before April

Wow a major cut back there Tyler! :lol:
