180 rift.
110xh rift.

Thinking of a 40-60 reef for 3.

The 180 rift is on an auto water changer and sump. The only needy one is the 110xh. The 180 requires little other than glass cleaning, and sump pad changes, with every 6 month cleanouts.

I currently run 2 tanks.

60 Gallon Cube - Supposed to be a reef tank
144 Gallon Half Circle - FOWLER

However I am not going to lie I keep saying it is time to tear down the 60 and just run a fowler tank. I have never been good at growing/sustaining corals.

I have a evo 13.5, waterbox mini 15, fluval flex 15 (fresh water) and a 3 gallon betta tank. The betta tank is the only one not causing me a headache at the moment.

3 for now:
  • quarantine,
  • old mixed reef,
  • new tank with grow out aquascaping, slowly moving corals from the old tank to a new.
Supposed to be one display and another as special requirements tank.
With some stretch they can be classified as pico tanks (drastically downsized since last time years ago).

I currently have one running right now. A 20 gallon drop off. I’d really like to set up a small Fiji Cube tank for SPS but that probably won’t happen for at least another year

Translation of informal poll results:

One: Only true in the first six months of keeping a tank. Or for rigid disciplinarians and saints (translation: masochists).

"One": Only true if the six different quarantine and frag tanks aren't counted as part of the running list. Fish food takes up at least half the room in the freezer. And on the kitchen counter.

"Some": actual number of displays may be from two to six, and the hobbyist is in denial about the actual number of tanks threatening structural overload on the second floor. Hydro bills start creeping past the average home-grow op.

"Several": Owner starts building a secret bunker -- not for TEOTWAWKI, but because it will contain a fortified Fish Room on dedicated circuits, and a water station that was inspired by the NASA Artemis Mission, hidden from nagging spousal tongues and the judgmental eyes of extended family members.

150 gal reef, 36 gal fw planted, 55 gal african cichlid aquarium, 2 10 gallon molly baby holding aquariums, terrestrial hermit crab paludarium, currently setting up fluval evo as a native tidal ecosystem aquarium.

Edit: Forgot to add greenhouse I bought the greenhouse but I'm still debating what totes to use in there and how I am splitting it up. Probably 6 300 gal stock totes or one big fiberglass aquaculture unit. Lights for the winter are another thing I'm trying to figure out.
