I have 4 tanks now..2 fresh 2 salt.(not including the 400) I'm not sure what to get rid of lol...but I'm not done. I'm thinking of doing a 30 gallon or so seahorse tank.
I am so jealous! How long have you been in this hobby???? I keep slowly trading up.... I started with a Betta in a bowel (which I still have), then moved on to a 5 gallon FW, now I have a 29 gallon SW. I don't want to go bigger until we buy a place. The only problem is that we are total urbanites and are most comfortable and happy in a busy downtown atmosphere (we are both originally from NYC). So we'll probably end up buying either a condo or townhouse in the next year or two. Since you obviously have experience with large aquariums, what's the largest you would advise if we end up buying a condo on an upper level floor?

I know you didn't ask me, but I'm going to put in my input anyways. :D
You should check with your building contractor or architect to get an idea of how much pressure/psi your floor joists can handle and then calculate out how many gallons that would be max... Some floors can hold more than others. Gotta consult an expert.

I've only been in the hobby for 2 years. I've moved really fast... Started with the 55 and last Jan bought the 155. My bf said i'm not allowed anything bigger then the 400 lol.
