How many tanks do you have

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I wonder who's got the most tanks. What does maintenance look like on almost 10,000 gallons of water?
It's like owning a fish store, but not making any money. LOL! When I was really into breeding fish, I was changing water (600 - 800 gallons/week) and cleaning filters, 7 days a week. Eventually I got burned out doing that . It was no longer any fun.

Joe, do you think it would be more fun if the system was automated? What about if the tanks were also larger, so that you could've done it all one day versus having to do it over a full week? I was never into breeding really, doubt I would ever get into it. But if you made the maintenance a bit easier, do you think it would be fun/enjoyable?
 
Currently I have 10, though it used to be more. These 10 consist of a 1 gallon, a 5.5 gallon, two 10 gallons, a 15 gallon, a 20 gallon, two 30 gallons, a 33 gallon, and a 75 gallon.
