How many tanks?

[Fishingandreefing]

I have about 30 tanks which are a mix of FW and SW - about 10 of them are currently SW.

...and no I’m not retired either.

Wait what? 30?

Wow you guys! Keep up the good work!

I currently have two office tanks. One 80 gallon FW Planted and a 16 gallon SW. Oh and getting ready to start a new build for my 3rd tank

3 mixed reefs. . . . . 660g, 93 cube and 50g drop off tank. Roughly 4 hours per week. Mainly feed and enjoy them all.

2 Biocube 16 g
1 frag tank 70 g

I have 2 60g frag tanks tied into about a 240 gallon system when done, a Biocube 29, a 90g freshwater, a 3g African dwarf frog tank and a 300 gallon outdoor pond.

Do I see a trend here....multiple freshwater tanks with one or maybe two saltwater?

Definitely, which is a good thing. Currently I am just interested in sw

Glad you enjoying them, I would spend an entire day on them lol.

nice, maybe some softies in the little one

I have my systems set up so that my maintenance is minimal. I have a 400gpd RODI system with 20g pressurized tank and always have 45g of saltwater mixed and ready to go. I do weekly 5 gallon WC on the 40b's and only do about monthly water changes on the freshwater tanks. I have to change filter sock every few days, but that only takes a few minutes for all the tanks. I don't dose, rarely test water params, only if something seems off, and feed everyday.

I am not retired, work almost 50h/week, and commute 1 hour each way to work.

I only have pics of 2 tanks right now.

I have 2 tanks - a 120g and 65g (yes semi retired - but still travel quite a bit) and minimal water changes - trident hybrid (sort of) and starting nano frag tank

Nice. I only have a 120 and it feels like takes up a lot of time already. But I enjoy it! I am debating if I should start a small tank, 30-50g.

Fish tanks spread like aiptasia.
I have 2 separate systems and 4 standalone tanks, all saltwater

At first I debated it but I have fish & corals that have different needs so a second tank was my only option. After having the pair you get in a rhythm and things aren't quite as bad as you may have thought. Yes it's twice the lights, pumps, sumps, etc.. but the satisfaction I get when tinkering w/them helps me forget the current world affairs.

true, there’s a lot of ups and down in this hobby. But sometimes, its well worth it.
