Nice! Did you build the dividers and/or tank that is part of the plasti-dip experiment? I'm curious how you manage the filtration for that tank.

The dividers were installed by the previous owner. It is drilled on the back in the far right section and the panels are drilled in the top/rear to allow tubing to pass thru. I cut the canister spary bar and tubing in to chunks. The far right section has a part with 1 hole, next section has a part with 2 holes... etc. Powerhead sponge on the canister intake helps the Eheim 350 pass the water all the way across.

Collection continued...warning sacrilege ahead.

48 x 24 x 11 or 121.92 x 60.96 x 25.4 = 49.87G or 188.78L. Bought for sorting female bettas in to stable sororities to sell, after bowing was repaired it was pressed in to service as a guppy grow out, and now in my neighbors' yard for $100 cuz cleaning the white got old.

48 x 24 x 12 or 121.92 x 60.96 x 30.48 = 59.84G or 226.53L. Bought for sorting female bettas in to stable sororities to sell. After bowing was repaired I decorated it with 3D foam walls and love it as my "cheetah" molly project tank.

have you calculated the total water volume you have across all the tanks?

Last but not least, my largest tanks.

54 x 20 x 14 or 137.16 x 50.8 x 35.56 = 65.45G or 247.77L. Custom built for a bala shark rescue/grow out with a separate piece of translucent blue backing...(Bala went to it's forever home last month.) Had to give the HoB a lift kit and still working out lids but hands down my lowest maintenance tank for no apparent reason.

60 x 18 x 16 or 152.4 x 45.72 x 40.62 = 74.81G or 283.17L. Biggest PITA of my collection. Sprang leaks twice, grows algae that leaves calcium deposits, and so thin a small HoB bowed the top. Will be in yard with free to good home sign as soon as my 65L is built (because I dislike my neighbors almost as much as I dislike this tank.) Picture is from the one week this year that it actually looked nice.
