Just wondering on average how many tanks people run. I know there are those that always stick to one, but there are so many possibilities out there that not everything can be out into one tank, no matter how large. So do you choose one style and go with it, or multiple tanks and get a diversity of biotypes going?

So if you run multiple tanks say what you have. Not looking for specifics, but pred, reef, sps dominate, lps dominate...something like that. Or maybe you are adding one currently, what are those plans?

I currently run four with a fifth in the works. 125 pred tank, 150 coldwater tank, 40 slice of softie reef, 20 QT tank. Fifth is a 120 in wall that is planned to be a lps possibly some sps tank.

Down to two, a 100G mixed reef and a 16G nano. Have had as many as 6 or 7 when my Son was still at home but ran out of room and time to care for all of them after he left home.

Three, I soon hope to sell one, and add two.
To the rest of the family, I convince them 3 - 1 + 2 still equals three. :wink:

I am running two tanks right now. 29 and 75. However, I think I will be taking down the 29.
