Come On People. There's no shame in admitting that you have MTS (Multiple Tank Syndrome). affraid I personally have had the disease for over 43 years now Crying or Very sad , but I'm learning to cope. I've accepted that I will never be cured, but that I can still live a productive life. Very Happy Even those of you in the first stages (2 to 5 Tanks) need to confess. We can be a support group for each other. sunny Please don't suffer through this alone. Crying or Very sad There are others who care too (like your local fish store, and your online suppliers)...wait forget that. Please post your tanks, so we can help each other through these trying times.

Thank You for Your Support,
Mark

PostSubject: Re: How Many Tanks Do You Have?   How Many Tanks Do You Have? EmptySun Nov 09, 2008 5:10 am

I wasn't ashamed to post, just needed time to put the list together. Wink

Anyway some of this is for rescue stuff too but here ya go.

1x 1200g indoor pool/pond
1x 600g indoor pond
2x 300g Livestock Tubs
1x 250g Funny Shaped Hard Pond Liner.
2x 150g Livestock Tubs
2x 100g Tanks
3x 75g Drums
2x 55g Tanks
5x 55g Concrete Tubs (Made by the same company that makes the pond liners)
5x 45g Round Kiddy Pools
3x 40g Tanks
1x 35g Round Kiddy Pool
1x 25g Hex Tank
5x 20g Tanks
1x 12g Tank
4x 10g Tanks
1x 6g Tank
1x 2.5g Tank

Not all of these tanks/tubs have water in them currently. Like the 250g pond liner has dirt in it and 4 tortoises, same with a few of the 55g concrete tubs. Except for the 1200g pond and a few of the kiddy pools everything else in use for something. The 1200g pool is just waiting for me to figure out a good heat and lid system for it so I can eventually put the red tailed cat and pacus in when they get big enough. 1 kiddy pool has sliders in it currently, and the other ones I use outside for plants in the summer. If the pond liner rep can get me more of the concrete tubs, I may retire out the kiddy pools too. Or really probably not, I'd just keep them on as uh.. backup. Wink

I also have a 3g tank coming in the mail to test how "idiot proof" it is from Tetra. (plus an epic amount of filter foam from their machine end runs yay!) But I don't actually have it yet so it hasn't made the official list.

I wonder what's up with the 75s. The Petsmart by me has one in their clearance section that seriously temps me, I just don't have anywhere it would fit without doing some major furniture shuffling.

Down here I can buy 75s ($99) cheaper than 40 breeders ($129) {comes with lids and light strip}. The only problem is finding 4 consecutive feet of empty wall space to put one. Smile

Dang.

$99 for a 75g tank? I think I need to make a road trip down south. They're normally $220 with lights and lids up here. I thought the $160 they had it marked down too was a good deal.

I'd end up having to find 8 feet of wall space to clear tho by the time I was done. Wink

Wanna talk about needing Help we have it bad!!! MTS MTS MTS its like STD's hard to cure .

1 x 125
1 x 46 bow
2 x 55
1 x 40 breeder
4 x 29
60x 20H
2 x 20 L
2 x 15

I hope I am the only one here who has it this bad .LOL!!

Tell me about it...lol. I like free/cheap tanks. Of all my tanks the one I paid the most for was $100 for my 75 tank/stand. The 29 and 20L were free and the 10gal is the only new tank I have bought. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a free 150-300gal.

I keep 7 sevs in my 20L...does that sound overstocked to you?
