Title says it all. What are some tanks you'd (realistically) want to have someday? Add in your other pets too, I want to hear.

I would someday love to have a large fish room, lots of plywood tanks everywhere (600 gallon, 2700 gallon, 300 gallon, 270 gallon, 750 gallon, 600 gallon, 450 gallon, 125 gallon, 100 gallon) along with a pair of 10' Intex pools (RTC pond and smaller benthic shark pond) and a rack of smaller tanks (couple each of 40 breeders, 10 gallons, and 20 longs). I'd love to set up a bunch of aviaries, maybe 4 or 5, for larger rescue parrots too as well as plenty of reptile cages (nothing huge). Oh, a big in-ground swimming pool for sharks would be fun too but I've gotta focus on getting that collection started up first :D

Right now I'm tankless, saving up for a few setups soon though - 300 gallon stock tank for sharks and a 180 FW monster tank. I have a pair of leopard geckos and a rabbit too :) Not to mention 2 cats and a dog
 
180g. oscar tank, 95g oscar tank, 150g jag tank.

I wonder who's got the most tanks. What does maintenance look like on almost 10,000 gallons of water?
 
Two running tanks at the moment:
300g (96x24x30) community cichlid and bichir tank
40B with a hairy puffer

I have an empty 75g Im going to sell and a 65B on order to upgrade the puffer to.

I have a 10 gallon tank with my son's 4 glowfish (he is 2, lol) and a 29 gallon with my two 4-5" fire eels. I have in my garage and am working on setting up my new 220 gallon tank for the fire eels, and it will have a 55 gallon sump.

I also have a dog and my wife's rabbit. The rabbit will be 10 this Easter.

Past pets, I have had other dogs, a gecko, other fish tanks, hamsters and I even had an alligator at one time. The alligator got sick and I could not bring him back around and ended up losing him.
