Stared with one 20 then got a second one then a 55 then a downturn with alot of tens before going back up with three 45's a 75, 125, then 190. Somewhere in there I also got a 30, two more 20's and a two 5's.
Now I'm only running one 55(different from the first one) and a 2600 kiddie pond.

About five years ago I started with a 20g.......A few platy's, silver dollars, and my first catfish, an emerald cory! My obsession began with the catfish and not the tanks them selves. If I hadn't gotten that catfish, my life would be very different!
Now - 10g saltwater, 20g, 55g, 55g, 65g, 75g, 125g, 190g reef, 280g and I think 12 different species of cats. I haven't counted in a while, but I still have an emerald cory!

My husband bought me my first tank 5yrs ago(which he now says he regrets..lol). It was a 10gal hex. As soon as i set it up i thought hmm i think i need a bigger one. So i found a 40gal., then went to a standard 55gal, also bought a 54gal corner bowfront, a 72gal bowfront(currently running), just sold my 125gal not too long ago and am working on setting up the 155gal bowfront i just got. Its never ending..i havent even got the 155 set up and im already thinkin hmm i think i need a bigger one.. 
I started off with a 29g tank and quickly went to a 55g and 40g on a double stand. From there I had to build a stand to hold 10g and 20g tanks for the fry I was raising. After that it's a blur but somehow I ended up owning my own pet shop with quit a few tanks all the way up to a 350g tank. It's a sickness and I can't be cured.
