sushiray-great grab on the bowfront. They look so damn awesome! Plus it's a 72.

# of tanks = 4,5 if you include the sump
# of gal = 230
# of yrs = Started at a ripe age if 15, so 5 years now

125-2 Florida gars, and soon to be 12 senegals
56-Bullhead catfish,Blue Acara
29-3 African Clawed Frogs (ACF's), 1 senegal bichir
20-ACF tadpoles

I'm content where I am, plus the parents won't let me get anymore.

OMG!! This'll take a bit of thinking. I have about 35 tanks in storage right now that were to prestage a relocation for the hatchery move. Here's what's running now.

650 gal - 1
450 gal - 30
420 gal - 1
360 gal - 1
350 gal - 1
300 gal - 2
275 gal - 1
210 gal - 1
180 gal - 1
150 gal - 3
140 gal - 3
125 gal - 3
100 gal - 1
90 gal - 1
75 gal - 2
65 gal - 2
55 gal - 8
45 gal - 2
35 gal - 2
20 gal - 24
...and a bunch of odd-shaped/volume tanks.
That's about 19,250 gals running. 30k-32kgals total. Just a lightweight compared to many of our members.

Some tanks are 2-5 years old. Oldest tanks are around 15-20 years old.

Been in the hobby for nearly 45 years.
