Good grief....where do you all find the time?!?!? I don't think I could successfully handle more than 2 going at once or they'd all suffer.

totally addicted
I currently have 3 running. 20 gallon frag tank (coral QT), 75 gallon reef and a 180. Going to be down to 2 after I take down the 75 though.

100 gal system in the dining room and a 20 in the bedroom
3 and I've had as many as 10 but the wifey started popping out kids so time and space led to their demise but all 5 of my kids will have a small reef in their room when they're old enough. My 10 year old has a 5 gallon sps reef in his room and he has a 14 gallon biocube cube he's waiting on set up after we move.

If we're counting just salt then I have two up and running. A 68 gallon and my 14 gallon biocube I have an abyss tank that I'm hoping to set up with what Santa brings me, so there will be three in the near future for salt. We also have a 90 gallon freshwater tank and I have a 5 gallon betta tank on my desk. We also have any empty 55 gallon sitting in the back that the BF wants to turn into a crazy goldfish tank. So all in all four tanks up and running, two dry. (I think we may or may not have a problem lol)

Was thinking running. I'm not the only addicted one around here!

It was difficult that's why I down graded to a 125 but now since I saw this one I gotta have it

We currently have 6 with water in them. Sitting around after just giving away 3 I think we have 3 picos, a hex, a 20gal, 2 75g, 2 65g, 2 90g, a 110 and a 180. I really need to move stuff around and set them up.

This was my question exactly lol
I refuse to answer the question though
At one point I had 12 or so. Most were dedicated species tanks and smaller. But then the larger tanks as well.
Not everything is running again, not sure it ever will again...that's why my question.

Would love to see how you setup your IM 30 Long. Just bought one as a second tank to setup

Reefer XL425, JBJ 45, and 2 Biocube 29. Wife asked for an 8 gallon desktop tank for Xmas, so that will be added to the list tomorrow. QT I have a regular 29 and a Biocube14. Need to setup the youngest kid's Jellyfish Art tank again soon for her and get it stocked again.

If funds weren't so limited, I would almost certainly keep it to one large tank, but as it is, I have two on the same system. About 100 gallons altogether.
