You forgot "Take down small one & upgrade to a bigger one, so tank numbers stay the same!"

Like, take down the 2 gallon nano & put in a 100 gallon reef

I spend on my fish tanks the time and money other people spend at the bar.

Let the wife/girlfriend understand this.

If they take away your fish tanks they will run your life.

Do you spend an equal amount on your significant other though? That seems to be the argument in my house. That's why I started installing things and adding corals while she's still at work.

Good point, I would spend money on her but she won't cooperate, I have one of those low-maintenance wives.

For me the limiting factor is time. I have a plant tank, a planted discus tank and a mixed reef. There are several other tanks sitting around empty that I don't have the energy to take care of.

Not sure how well sneaking in a whole tank would work out, but I've managed to sneak some new equipment in from time to time.
