Poll: How many tanks do you have?
« on: January 03, 2012, 18:57:44 »
Just curious how many tanks everyone is running, it seems some members have quite a few.... Feel free to throw up a basic pic or two of them all.

I'd say 3.5.. main tank, display refugium, coral qt.. my fish qt/hospital tank isn't always up, but it can be in a moment's notice. (I keep a filter pad soaking in my sump.)

Depends on if you count tanks in 1 system.

OLD:180g mixed reef, 60g sump, 2 30g frag tanks, 30g macro algae tank.  300g total system.

I am trying something a little different. I took a 75g tank and have my cheato in it. It is fed water from the sump where the overflow comes out. I am going to add a deep sand bed and some mangroves. slow flow with high light in theory should make a great macro algae bed to pull junk from the water. There is a small area somewhat unlit that has rock to act as a refugium for pods. Mu main sump is blacked out with no light. I am doing a cryptic sump full of rock. It already has a good start on sponges and tube worms. Just another way to filter the water.

I have about 15 running right now, but I am in the process of shutting down my freshwater tanks except my planted tank, so I should be down to 6 here in the next month, it will be nice to enjoy them instead of constant water changes and feedings. plus the electric company loves me right now, i will probably get taken off there christmas card list when I shut down the tanks! lol

I have 2 right now but getting a 3rd soon.  I have a 28JBJ Nano, 75G freshwater set-up housing a single 11" male Flowerhorn (will be salt in a few months) And I am going to be setting up a small tank for my son (10G or so..)

The new setup is in the works as we speak... it will have 4 tanks... 54 gal corner, 38 frag and bivalve tank, 100 gal mangrove and algae tank and a 26 gal quarentine/hosptial tank. The two displays and the mangrove tank will be all plumbed together into one system...I am making the rock from scratch so that's really the only thing I am waiting on. I'm hoping I can have it ready and cooked within the next 4 weeks I want my tank up for the frag swap.

80g with 25 sump/fuge

6g nano

35g frag/sump/fuge/mangrove in basement

55g rubbermade trash can that I just set up with 80# Florida sand that I brought back to be a DSB for the 80g once I plumb it in, it is up and running with heater and pump. I may try the cryptic fuge route and put some rock in it.

46g bowfront at Bethel school with a 20g sump/fuge.
