Tanks running :

 

5g holding a bunch of locally caught fish at the moment (shiners aka bait fish)

8g freshwater cycling w/ 3 danios soon to be planted and probably raspboras put in place

8g nano reef w/ AC HOB refugium

8g brackish w/ puffer(Green Spotted)(soon to be moved up to the 32g)

8g 2 dwarf puffers/planted

15g african cichlid tank(2 neolamprologus brichardis(pair) with a bunch of fry that have to be sold soon)

15g puffer(Lorteti), 1 dwarf loach, 1 hatchet fish, 3 apple snails(soon more hatchets)

Two tanks right now, but seriously considering more.

 

5g freshwater: two bettas, an over enthusiastic amazon sword (I didn't know that's what it was or it wouldn't have gone in here) and thinking of a few tiny fish

 

14g marine: just started, hopefully will have many creatures, probably only two clownfish and the rest will be invertebrates.

 

A mantis tank will be started at some point in the near future, as well as some freshwater place to put trimmings.

i have a 5 gallon FW community, and a 20 gallon SW soon to come (have bought certain components) and when I move houses (within the next year) I'm going to get a 100 gallon reef set-up...hope I move soon, parents must decide quick! LOL

5.5 gallon softies reef.

 

In the process of upgrading it to a 10 gallon reef.

 

I'm trying sooo hard to keep it at one tank and one tank only. If that means I have to make the tank bigger, so be it!

Wow, I am really jealous of all of you w/ so many aquariums. I had 1 44 gal and just downsized to a 24 gal Aquapod. I also have a 30 gal freshwater and a 55 gal vivarium w/ dart frogs. If I could have something in every room of the house I'd be happy.

Three! (can you hear the exuberant pride?)

 

As of right now, I have one 10g nano-reef, filled mostly with zoanthid, palythoa, protopalythoa, and briareum spp. It houses a blue damsel, a cleanup crew of blue legged hermits, and several trochus snails, as well as many indigenous hitchhikers, including feather dusters, foraminiferae, sponges, and newly appeared "volunteer" zoos sprouting from my LR purchases. It's been setup for nearly four months now, since november 2006. No skimmer, too many cryptic filter-feeders to risk malnutrition, just 10% weekly water changes, twice a week if I'm feeling 'generous'.

 

My second aquarium is a 20g long FOWLR, with a green spotted puffer converted to marine, full of cheatomorpha and little else. Again, no skimmer, very few issues, 10% water changes weekly.

 

Third, i have a 29g Corydoras breeding tank housing sterbai, habrosus, paleatus, and aeneus sp. This is the first freshwater tank I've had with a 'cleanup crew' as it were, using ghost shrimp and apple snails in place of a pleco for detritus and algae. The first batch of sterbai eggs are almost ready to hatch, though they fungus alot more than the 'cheap' cories.
