Size tank that got you started and tank now?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
30 tall for a year and a half before setting up an additional 11 tanks in a 12 month period after that. Biggest now is 75 but in a month I should have something between 180 and 600 gallons (big range I know :) ).
 
I actually started with a fishbowl and a betta that I bought for no good reason when I was wandering around a petsmart with some girl who needed cat food.

Not much time passed, I did my research, I went back out and dropped the coin on some cheesy Topfin 5.5g starter kit and a laughable 15w marineland heater.

My old man used to breed fish for a living and he had a garage full of crusty old tanks from the 90's. So I'd snatch up a 10g, then a 20 high, then I started grabbing 40 breeders since he had a literal pile of them.

I got a 75g for free that needed a reseal. Which I just a couple months ago replaced with this. 90g

Space, moving and up until very recently a lack of funds has prevented me from persuong bigger tanks. I've actually turned down a couple big ones that I could've got for cheap because I wasnt prepared to move a 180 or 210 from apartment to apartment. I cant wait to buy a house

Started with a 2.5 gallon hex with a largemouth bass fry. Then I put it in my old geckos 10 gallon. In a month I got a free 65 gallon from a friend. It sprung a leak so at Christmas my parents bought me a new 90 gallon. Had that a few years before I sold it and bought a 135. Sold the 135 for a 150 gallon brand new. Had that for 2 more years before getting the 200 gallon. Around 4 months ago I sold that to purchase a 400 gallon acrylic which I then sold for 6x what I paid. Now I'm planning out a custom 400 gallon acrylic with my ideal dimensions. In the meantime I'm just buying and selling aquariums for profit to finance this tank
 
I started with a 500 gallon 50 years old concrete tank that built with my grandpa's house, now my biggest is a 1000Gallon pond.
 
Started with a 26 gal bowfront 3yrs ago, now have 2 500 gal acrylic tanks and a 200gal custom.

Started with a 5 gallon old hex type tank that I had stuffed with goldfish (I was 10).

After that it was a 15 gallon two foot tank, then a 3 foot 55 gallon; currently have a 92 gallon corner tank now, and a 52 gallon long.

Eyeing up a 120 for my next tank in the future :)
