Hi everyone David here, new to the forum and glad I found this place. I have a problem, I can't stop getting bigger tanks ?
I first got a 120 gallon acrylic when I lived in a small place and spent a lot of time cleaning up scratches, polishing, and planning my custom overflow books, but didn't have time to set it up before we started looking for a house.
Then I randomly came across a 220 gallon acrylic cube which was formerly a pool display, which I definitely didn't have a place for but it was too cool and cheap to pass up, so that parked behind my house.
So finally we got a place and moved in, and it struck me that I can go bigger, and I remembered dreaming about a 300 gallon I had seen on the market earlier. I searched for big tanks available and actually found two 300 gallon tanks for sale. At the same time my buddy had just purchased a 300 for his garage, but then decided it was too big for the space and offered it to me. I said I would buy it, and then decided I'd have another one I had seen with thicker acrylic. Didn't want to leave him hanging though, so on consecutive days we moved his tank into my garage and then went to pick up the other 300.
... And then I met a friend of a friend who is selling his 1000 gallon tank. Which I'm talking to him seriously about buying.
And still have not set up any of my big tanks, leaving me with 2 300s, 220 cube, 120, oh and a 180 in bad shape u picked up for a song, all empty, and my largest currently running tank is a 40 gallon breeder lol.
So that's my goofy story, look forward to meeting you all and learning from this place
