how many tanks did you have at ONE time

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
wow.. I love the hobby but you guys are Freaks (in a good way) lol I only have one at a time.. set up that is. right now its a 110g. I still have my old 45bow front in storage. a lady at work is supposed to be buying it. I Have had, in the past, a 1 gallon, 10g, 20g, 45, now the 110. When I was living with my parents we did have two up. My 20g (then the 45 I bought) and my dad's 55 hex. When I went to college I had to move my, then 20g, downstairs for them to take care of it. After I graduated and moved back I bought the 45Bow. Always chiclids or Piranhas..I did make the switch to Salt for about a year...but I switched back. As pretty as SW is, I much prefer Freshwater!

Right now I have: (Haven't Updated my Sig)
350 gallon
300 gallon
220 gallon
180 gallon
135 gallon
2x 125 gallon
75 gallon
55 gallon
2x 30 gallon
20 gallon
2x 10 gallon

Have to get rid of the 300, 135, and a 125. I don't have anymore room and trying to get some friends into the fish hobby. Better to start big IMO.

im not too far away if you ever wanna unload on of those big tanks let me know. haha. i need to get a big tank with dividers instead of all my smaller tanks to make maintenance much easier but i have tanks surrounding my front room. i try not to count them as it just leads to me moving them closer together and trying to make room for more. but my smallest tank (and first) is a 5 gallon and then i kinda went crazy. MTS (Multiple tank syndrome) is a alot of fun but also a pain with maintenance and water changes haha. but i know i have well over 200 fish, 2 rats, a hamster, an axolotl, a snapping turtle, painted turtle, two red ear sliders, 4 crayfish, few frogs, lots of shrimp, and four dogs. most tanks at once would probably be like 24 or 25.. i care more about the creatures than the tanks tho. even tho the tanks and accessories are usually much more expensive than the inhabitants.
 
i had about a dozen tanks at the height of my career..LOL

dont worry. im young and just resurfaced in the hobby.

...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.

I love looking at Oddball's number of tanks.
