Right now the biggest tank I have running is only a 75 gallon but I also have 2 55's ,3- 30's, 3 - 20's, 2 - 10's .... But that said I have gotten the go ahead from my Lovely wife to set up my 360 gallon ( 100 x 30 x 30 ) around march , I also HAD 2 150's and a 110 but I sold them to help get the funds together to get the 360 going and not to mention I have a 350 gallon pond going also so needless to say I have found out how addicting this AMAZING hobby of Ours really is.
I mainly keep S & C american Cichlids but I do have a few catfish species and gourmies and a sengal birchir , But the collections is constantley growing especially with the 360 almost ready to get set up

Personally, I do not define a monster fish keeper by the size of your tank(s) or livestock. I think of it as how active you are in the hobby of keeping fish. If you have a strong interest in keeping fish and invest a lot of your time and money in doing so, you are a monster fish keeper in my book.

IMO, the person with ten 30 gallon tanks up and running is every bit as much of an MFK'er as the person with a 300 gallon set up.

My 220 has been set-up about 6 months. Before it, my biggest tank was a 150.

Agreed 100%! And sort of my point. Well said Brian.

180, been up less than a year


When I first got to this site my biggest was a 55.

And because of this site... I upgraded to a 75.

And because of this site again... I upgraded to an 180.

And because of this site... I will eventually upgrade again and again and again.

Although this site does and should be more about the people with larger tanks and "monster fish" (in either size or attitude), can inspire people with smaller tanks to upgrade to more "monster" tanks and fish.


EDIT: lol I just put my vote int he wrong spot. I read it as "150 and over" not under. Fail

Mine is a 225g, set up since July '09.

in the beginning of 09 I got my first big tank, it was a standard 120. Before that the largest tank I had was a 55. In 2010 I got a 135 which is currently my biggest tank. Right now I have the 135, a 120 tall and a 20 long. In storage I have a 2.5, 30, and 55. I'll be getting a 300 gallon before the end of this year I hope.

Dig! The monster is in your head!

I have 2 100g tanks with 30g sumps...if you plumb enough fishbowls together you have a LFS in your livingroom!!!

Shut down over 90 of the tanks. Of the 3 dozen running now, the largest is the 650.
