Where is the "Way to f-ing many" option 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.

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.

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

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!)
