Just a 20g reef
If I could I would get my dream 72g bow. Maybe once I graduate college and have a steady income these dreams will be made possible

Man I thought I had a lot of SW tanks going.....I don't have hardly any compared to some of you guys. I will only put in the tanks I have going. Not going to count up the empty ones.

150g aggressive, but adding corals
55g reef
30g is now my monster sebae anemone tank
29g QT, but right now has a bunch of new corals in it (so reef tank
)
20g FW
Outside
7,000+ koi pond
450 goldfish pond
PS thinking about getting a 210 or 300 to do a big reef. Course I will probably get rid of the 150 then......
 
2 freshwater
2 saltwater
only 4 =(
After I graduate college, I'm going all out... just wait for it.
(If the "recession" doesn't halt me from getting a job. I finally graduate this summer!)

heh, heh, heh.
Alright,... Well, since I am starting a business I had to take down a lot of my tanks and combined them all.
I had running at one point:
SaltwateR:
6x55gallon reef tanks not drilled
1x240 gallon reef drilled
1x150gallon fowlr drilled
3x30gallon quarantine drilled
3x30 gallon frag tanks drilled
total: 14
Freshwater:
1x240 gallon planted aquarium, drilled
1x55gallon african
1x55 gallon guppy tank!
1x55 gallon ram breeder
1x55 gallon planted aquarium
total 5
grand operational total: 19
Empty tanks:
10x20gallon tanks drilled
15x10gallon tanks drilled
2x55 gallon tanks
1x150 gallon
Final total: 47
Wow. Yeah, I have bought a lot of glass and silicone. lol. I'm no longer going to keep a single aquarium in my home. Everything's going into the business. (well, maybe I can afford that 2200 gallon reef tank I've been planning for years!)

Sorry Spidey, I took lots of pictures for you today, but our school district in their infinite wisdom has decided to block access to photobucket
because someone might look at n.a.k.e.d pictures or something
. Since I have dial-up at home, and it takes 15 minutes just to load the homepage of this site, I'm afraid pictures are going to have to wait. One of my buddies did tell me I should be sure and point out to you all that I teach in a public high school, so all those tanks listed (with the exception of one) are in my classroom not in my home. Have to see what I can do about getting access some other way (I'll just ask the students, they always know how to get around the firewalls, within five minutes after they go up
~ only people they keep out are us poor, ignorant teachers).

Scopus, <phew> now that makes more sense. I was wondering how your wife is allowing you to have that many tanks in the house!

Ok, made it past the firewall, so here are some images of my room and tanks. Sorry the room is so messy, we've been working hard with tanks, and I haven't gotten time to clean it up (also spending way too much time on this site
).


Here are a couple shots of my bog tank. This is one of my favorite freshwater tanks, I designed and built the system myself using a 20 gallon long turtle tank. The rocks, moss, wood, and larger terrestrial plant are all native. The smaller terrestrial and aquatic plant are of course nonnative.


Sorry the waterfall image didn't come out very well, but we've been working on the SW tanks, and I've kind of neglected the FW.

Anyway, thats a start, I'll keep posting ~ for those who are interested; although several of the SW will be getting their own threads soon.
