I have only beeb in the hobby 5 months and have really bad MTS!

I currently have my 7gal betta tank and 40gal community.

I would love to get another tank as i really want to keep tiger barbs!

My fiance thinks 2 is already a lot buy i told her there are people with a lot more than 2!!
 
I have 3 in use and 1 qt tank. And one being built .. But im hoping to just have the 2 bigger ones. At some point .. I've run out of furniture to put them on ;)
 
I'm the same I was happy with my 20L then it really got hold on me and bought the mrs a 50g tank but I told her I would look after it for her haha, I think I am obsessed I cannot walk past any of my tanks with out looking in making sure all my fish are there looking at the filter cleaning the glass not sure if this is a good thing or if I should check into rehab for a while hahaha
 
12 glass tanks in total. 2 plastic ones i keep excess plants in. Not all of them are running yet.

Running.
2x20g + a 35g tank stocked at the moment and one cycled 6g cube running with just a filter, fish food and some stray snails. I plan to add a betta to this tank soon.

Soon to be running
6g waiting on a bubble filter to cycle to make it a shrimp tank.
35g drilled tank + 15g sump. Ok the sump is not quite a sump yet but will be when i silicone some partitions into it. Finished the stand last week so the sump and painting the stand are the last steps to get it running.

Then i have 3 tanks needing repairs
40g busted end
30g re-purposing a 3 foot standing tank. It has 4 long sheets of glass and needs 2 end panels to make it a flat tank. One side will become the 2 ends and will provide the glass to repair the 40g too.
6g rectangle with a long pane broken.

I also have a pair empty 15g (one is turning into the sump) and my 20g qt/hospital tank.

Power points have become an issue. I have enough power points to get the 30g and 40g running when they're fixed but that will limit the tanks i can have in my house for now.
 
Wow, my 2 seem like nothing in comparison! Haha yeah maybe there should be a MTS rehab group!
If i had more space/time/money i am sure i would have another tank already haha
 
I've got a 29,20,10,5.5 all running full bore... 2 are well planted so I'm never without something to do:D they say idle hands are the devils playground...come pry mine out of the tanks!!!
 
I would just keep buying them if I could!
Would love to have a marine tank too but that will have to hold off for a while!
 
I have 3 tanks. A 10 gal fully running, a 66 gal that I am cycling to get ready for an oscar and a 29 gal that I am going to set up and move the fish from my 10 gal into
 
DazF, you made good choices with a 40 and 7. Beautiful tanks!

I'm a senior and due to my children's wishes am limited to a 29 gal and a 12 gal. 2 small holding tanks and an unused 1 gallon hospital tank. I do have oodles of QT plant containers.
 
I have one tank up and running and that is my 5 gallon with 3 ADFs. My QT tank is up too but nothing but raw shrimp in it to keep the cycle going. I am hoping to have my 20L set up next week it should be here by the 30th. And I am in the process of setting up a 2.5 nano shrimp tank and a 3 gallon Pico tank that will have 2 sexy shrimp and some corals. I am also setting up a 10 gallon nano which will have a DSB with corals. The most I have ever had was 30 tanks ranging from 1 gallon up to a 500 reef. But seeing where I live now 5 is all I can fit lol.
 
Thanks monkey :) both still work in progress though! Looking to replace the gravel in both soon and add some more plants to the 40g

30!? Wow!!!
 
3 gallon shrimp tank
Two 10 gallons (one is a QT that currently has some long term residents)
Two 20 gallon longs
and a 45 gallon that is currently empty, but in the (slow) process of being put back together.
 
I have a 90 community, and I did have a 20, but sold it not too long ago. Want a 5 gallon betta tank soon. And upgrade my 90 to a 125+ when I can convince my husband lol.

Thank you! It costs so much to get everything set up, but maintaining is cheap. At one point I had 7 aquariums, but that was almost 10 years ago. I'm happy with what I have now. (Just wish it were bigger!) I can't go to the pet store without my husband anymore, he needs to be a referee. If he only understood haha!
 
I have two fish aquariums, a 29 fw an a 20 gallon reef. I also have a 40 breeder with my 9 year old kingsnake and a 20 gallon viv for my pair of dart frogs. So 4 total tanks
