How many tanks?

[rayn]

Just wondering on average how many tanks people run. I know there are those that always stick to one, but there are so many possibilities out there that not everything can be out into one tank, no matter how large. So do you choose one style and go with it, or multiple tanks and get a diversity of biotypes going?

Sweet, but gotta say what ya got too. Guess I should as well though...

So if you run multiple tanks say what you have. Not looking for specifics, but pred, reef, sps dominate, lps dominate...something like that. Or maybe you are adding one currently, what are those plans?

I currently run four with a fifth in the works. 125 pred tank, 150 coldwater tank, 40 slice of softie reef, 20 QT tank. Fifth is a 120 in wall that is planned to be a lps possibly some sps tank.

I currently run a:

20 long sps only tank
8 gallon nano with a striped hermit, urchin, and snails (the kids pets)
150 gallon freshwater cichlid tank

In the works is a 90 gallon 'L' shaped sps tank

Three, I soon hope to sell one, and add two.
To the rest of the family, I convince them 3 - 1 + 2 still equals three. :wink:

I am running two tanks right now. 29 and 75. However, I think I will be taking down the 29.
