That's because it was thrown onto us by a student. We're going to keep this running for the next 7-8 months or so, and if he decides that it's big enough we will go larger. I don't know if I want to go with a big SW tank, big FW tank, a bunch of small tanks, or a medium SW and a medium FW tank but I think a big FW would be the nicest option, as it would be cheaper and we could focus more on getting some rare fish instead of spending all of our money on salt and lighting.Yeah I did. The tank isn't anything like the tank you spent 100 posts discussing.
I will admit, it doesn't sound like a good idea to have a massive wall of tanks, unless they were all FW or all SW and ran on one filtration system. Sounds like a lot of maintenance that I don't even know if I would want to do paid. So yes, 10 tanks and some birds and reptiles sounds a bit unrealistic now, but 1-2 tanks plus our 60 gallon now doesn't sound unreasonable at all
