POLL - How many tanks do you have running?

[ShortyKiloGyrl]

-55 gallon I'm starting over with stocking but has some bristlenose grow outs in it
-30 gallon that was for guppy pure line breeding and bristlenose plecos, but lost mated pairs for added chlorine in the city water
-20 gallon for L280 breeding group
-20 gallon long mini musk turtle tank
-6 gallon guppy grow out
-5 gallon guppy grow out
-2.5 gallon shrimp tank

-15 gallon I need to drain and put away because the last old fish passed this last week.

I will start with my tanks.
4 total - 300G x1 / 65B x2 / 20L x1

Future goal/project in works
5 total - 300G x1 / 75G x2 / 65B x2 / - then Im done!

That future goal was back in November 2019… so was I done? lol, kind of, but surpassed the 580 gallon mark. But was pretty close.

My current tanks:
7 total - 300G x1 / 90G x2 / 65B x2 / 46 bowfront x1 / Fluval Flex 32.5 x1
Total of 688.5 gallons, so just 108.5 gallons over my goal. But for real now, I really am done.

How did everyone else do since the original poll? More tanks or less?

...How did everyone else do since the original poll? More tanks or less?...

The number of tanks I'm keeping actually decreased by 1, from 13 to 12, but that's deceiving because the total tank volume increased by ~120 gallons. One project was an upgrade I did last summer in which I replaced four 55 gallon tanks with four new 75's, as well as replacing two 20's with a 45L. More recently, I replaced an acrylic 75L that I've had since 1987 with a 112 acrylic from @fishguy1978 (the 75L is in storage in my garage). All of these projects have been described in a long thread I posted called Fish Room History, Tour, and Upgrade. As described there, ten tanks are in my fish room, but two have escaped, to the TV room and living room, respectively. Total tank volume now is ~950 gallons.

I have realized I needed to change my vote I had 10 actual aquariums running at one point but have cut back to 3, just bigger..

Maybe its time for a total water volume survey? lol, @Madness, still wins

If we do that do I get to count Liberty Bay? I am cultivating water creatures out there.

It's the volume leader for sure, and quite the oyster tank.

Dont forget to add your vote to the poll!

So how many tanks you guys got running? What fish are you keeping? Future expansion plans?

 

[BPSabelhaus]

I'm going with uhm lol
The Sticklebacks and chubs are long term observation. Endlers I've got to six tanks I think. The goldfish fry are growing in the kitchen tank but will transition to a garage tub at some point then the outdoor 60g pond. I want to breed Bettas again, still need to build a rack for Woodstocks 40. Maybe I should use my upcoming week to myself for that.

Then there are the blonde Endlers I want to split into the snakeskin magenta saddleback blondes and the wild type guppy blondes with blue, orange and green markings.

 

[DMD123]

I hadnt planned on adding another tank... but now up to 8 since I set up a 20H hospital tank that's been up and running for over a month now.

 

[fishguy1978]

I’m running 14. I shut down two 55g tanks and added a 140g.
