I'm so addicted to this damn hobby.....seeing all these amazing fish makes me want more, more MOREEEEE!!! I 'm frigging still sitting on a brand new empty 75g still in the package, another 75g on the way and have a bunch of empty tanks here, there, and other places too. I need more. There are all these fish species I don't own and I find this totally unacceptable!!! :( What do I do? Who can I go see to quell my addiction??

.....or is it really that bad if I just keep setting up new tanks? lol

I will now proceed to list the 100,000 fish species i'm planning on getting next.....

Dude where do you have the time to maintain all these tanks? Do you have a fish room? Drip water change system? I have my hands full just taking care of a 180G with a 40G quarantine/hospital tank. Luckily I have a decent local aquarium as well as a few good LFS that I can go visit and watch their fish without actually maintaining them.

I just do a little bit everyday so I don't get overwhelmed. My fish room was up to 15 tanks, but now I'm down to 9 or 10 so i'm feeling like I need more haha. Still saving for the 265g, but I have no problem setting up more tank for now in the 4-foot-and-under-range. More tanks = more space to breed = more money = more tanks LOL

Personally I feel that the best thing is to have a mate who owns an LFS. Then you can drop by after work every day for an hour or so and feed/watch the fish, chat, etc. Get him to stock fish you like, and treat them like your own (only selling your non-favourite ones). The worst part about owning fish is water changes. Wish I had a drip change system.

I have about half a dozen of them :D We buy and sell fish to/from each other. I'm actually taking a break from the fishroom now after trying to figure out how to consolidate stuff so that I can get more tanks going and I was just thinking of passing by a LFS to drop off some fry i'm stuck with still to make room

I hear ya Frank. I just set up a 20H in my daughters room so now I have 6 tanks to maintain. I think I'm at my limit now. Seems like all I do is water changes now. I couldn't imagine have 12 tanks running.

I mainly just want to get these other two 75g tanks up and running and see where that leaves me as far as what filtration I have left to work with......

I could care less about the smaller tanks right now, but I still have 2 empty 75g I want to set up, or "replace" the two 55g I have, but in reality, it would be more like moving the 55g tank inhabitants to the 75's and then just doing away w/ the 35g Breeder, 30g, and a few 29g or something along those lines and upgrading those fish to some 55g's or at least most of them.

Haven't quite got it perfect, but I spent the past 2 week thinking up a damn good plan - unfortunately it's going to be a LOT or work all over again for me.

I think it's worth it to run bigger tanks though, better for the fish, easier for water quality and also more appeasing to the human eye too.
 
Yeah I agree with the bigger Tanks. I don't really want anything smaller that 55s but I have a 10g and a 20g in my daughters rooms that I maintain for them. For them I will make an exception.
