[joe_jaskot]

Too many! LOL! Enjoyed the hobby more with fewer tanks. Too much maintenance. Don't get to sit down and just watch the fish. Always changing water or cleaning filters.

[EMTBMIKE]

My fish room is my living room. I have 7 tanks squeezed in there. Two 75 gallons, two 55 gallons, two 29 gallons and one 10 gallon tank. I also have a 150 and 125 in my dads basement and a 75 gallon in my grandparents basement.
MIKE

[YoungAquaticPhotos]

Yes Joe I have seen your tanks, buckets, tupperware tubs, etc... Way too many to count!

Nice Mike! I keep trying to fit more in however I like them all sideways and not just the ends sticking out. I tried that once with about 60 small tanks and did not like it.

[Dawn]

Hi, I've got 4 tanks. A corner-tank with Oscars and a 6ft with mainly plecs and angels (and rainbows) with 2 smaller tanks with endlers and zebra plecs!:love:

[EMTBMIKE]

I used double stands to optimize the space. I will take a video tour of my living room.

[mack74]

I have 20 going at the moment from 180 to 10g

[Dawn]

20!:love:that's dedication for ya! So what kinda fish are you into?

[emartin]

Right now 99% of them are squeezed in the dining room.

265g
120g
29g
20g
10g
2.5g

One 10g in the kitchen

Tanks that are currently empty:
150g <---need to reseal this soon
15g
20g
40g
75g
60g

Just waiting for my breeding colonies to start breeding, and then the empty tanks will be filled :-).

Oh, and in the 60g or the 75g, I was going to eventually put in Thoracochromis brauschi. And in the 150g I was going to turn it into a two species Madagascar breeding tank.

Oh, and if I add up all the gallons, including the empty ones, that totals up to: 816.5gallons.

[Longstocking]

Well....

I have some weird sized tanks ... so I thought I would share the dimentions as well. Not the "normal" fish room full of 75's. I have one room full of tanks with the 125 in the living room.

125 wide 6' by 2' by 17"
50 bow front ( snakes and fish )
75 long 6' by 18" by 13"
75 standard
55 standard
50 breeders 4' by 18" by 13" I have seven of them.
30 breeders 30" by 18 by 12 I have 2 of them.
30 standard I have three of these as well.
20 long I have four of these.
20 standard
10 gallons I have 8 of these.
5 gallon

Big tanks are Tangs... and some of the smaller ones are pleco's.

[maddog10]

Yeah I'm a slave too!

Have to agree with Joe that the work load sometimes saps part of the fun out of the hobby--but, I'm so eat up with this addiction that I've figured out how to squeeze a 40L in a rack and now that tank is waiting for me to clean it up & sitting out on the back patio beside two 130 acrylic cubes I'm trying to figure out how to fit in...........:crazy:

[zebra7]

with the vat's I'm just over 3,000 gallon's. Problem is I wish I had twice the tank's, but I'm out of space, :coz:

[Julie]

Threads like these are fun... sometimes! Since we knocked down one rack (that one had 12 75's and 10 30's I think!) I keep meaning to count up all the tanks and gallons... but I keep falling asleep when I get to a certain point! (give me a break! it's in the 200+ range!)

Maybe someone who comes to the BBQ can have fun and figure it out for me... :coz:

we won't count the two kiddie pools of daphnia out by the barn. :becky:

[AlishanAS]

we won't count the two kiddie pools of daphnia out by the barn. :becky:



Can I bring a BS net and serve myself??? :)

[Julie]

Depends!!

Last year I did give away some daphnia, but where the pools are located this year, they might get too much sun, and not survive into August. Weeds were tall, so they were doing well so far, but then someone got energetic and mowed too close to the pools, so no more shade!

But in general, I don't mind a small netful to those who want some. Maybe a larger netful to the counter of the tanks!! :becky:

[zebra7]

200+ Range, I'm very jealous Julie, :irked:

[Heyguy74]

Maybe someone who comes to the BBQ can have fun and figure it out for me... :coz:



Great idea for a raffle. Guess how many tanks.

I have
2- 125G
1-75G
1-55G
1-65G
1-45G
1-29G
1-40G
2-10's

360G in storage

[Artie]

360G in storage

What are you waiting for??????????????? :coz:

[Longstocking]

Yeah the 360 in storage? mmmm that's not cool :p

My daphnia is doing great Julie :) I didn't kill it in two days like last year :lol:

Have fun counting... who ever does it :lol: I'm not counting... I'm one of the ones that helps tear down stuff and puts it back up.

[kbeaudean]

Let's see............

125-1
90-1
75-1
55-2
40L-2
40 Breeders-5
30-2
29H-3
20L-6
15-1
10-16

I think that will do it!!

[Heyguy74]

I'm in a townhouse and am finally finishing the basement. The tank is a plywood tank. 8' x 4' x 18". No room for it. The other tanks are in my laundry room. Once I move to my next house that will be the first thing I set up. Hopefully next spring.

[Submariner]

33 tanks for me ;) I still need more, but all in good time.

Carlos, be careful. If you get that 220 your ol' lady might stuff you into it & seal it sith silicone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Careful what you wish for !!!! :becky::becky::becky:

[misterted]

I got rid of tanks when I added my 265. The disease still persists.

[daniel4832]

I have cut down from 70 tanks to 50 tanks! I need to cut back more!!!
Hey Richard want some? :becky:
Thanks,
Daniel

[clos]

all i have to do to get the 220 is paint the living room and buy her a new sofa and im in lol nice arite

[TorontoRaptorsFan]

I just don't see the sense with setting up so many tanks and then spending hours upon hours maintaining them. I have 3 tanks and that's plenty for me.
I think it's more impressive to see a HUGE tank setup as a showpiece beautifully decorated with gorgeous fish than to see tanks upon tanks setup...

I'm seriously considering having just two massive tanks (265 gallon+) plus and heavily stock one with Featherfins and Cyprichromis (say a colony of Foai Sibwesa - and 30+ Cyprichromis). And then maybe devote the other tank to either Haps, Mbuna, or another Featherfin/Cyp tank.

[DavidG]

1 -150 gal 6'

Tony,
I didnt build it it was given to me. The guy who built it used treated plywood and then a bunch of coats of a marine epoxy paint on it. He used screws and also glue to keep the tank together. He also used silicon around the inside edges. The tank is in storage right now.

[RDTigger]

Starting in November of last year I am relatively new. My fishroom is my bedroom with a 30g and 3 10G and the biggest tank, the 72G Bow, in the dining room.

What does everyone do when they go on vacation?:coz:

I have a cat sitter that comes in to feed the cat (pic on my avatar) and she feeds the fish as well.

I'd hate to ask someone to feed 30+ tanks, lol. :becky:

I learned my lesson years ago. I rather let them be hungry than have someone over feed and make a mess.

If a female can go 3 weeks and more holding fry and not eating, they all can go without eating for a week or 10 days while i'm away.The tanks that I have on timers get taken off and left with no light.This will help keep them calm and less active.
