2-220gal display reefers. 1 SPS CENTRIC, 1 SPS CENTRIC. VERY DIVERSE ASSORTMENT OF FISH
and other inverts. #1 runs with 225 gal sump with dosing and refugium. #2 runs on 175 gal sump and refugium, dosing, media.
#3 Red Sea 600 FOWLER with 25 gal sump, media, upgraded pump and 2 skimmers. 1- 45 IM for quarantine. Seriously considering additional 300-500 gal display.
 
8 Fresh: 75, 20, 20, 10, 10, 5, 4, 1
2 SW: BioCube32, 10 QT
1 Empty
 
13 fresh
3 neocaridina tanks - blue, red, yellow
1 scarlet badis tank
3 betta tanks
1 pea puffer tank
1 blackworm tank
1 community w/ angels, loach, tetra
1 oscar tank w/ complimentary firemouth
2 rasbora tanks green kubotai & chili

2 salt
30 jbj aio mixed reef
20 long mixed reef

This year I plan to break down the 40b and 29g. Either drilling the 40b and using the 29g for sump with room for an ato beside the sump.. Or buying another 40b(without a center brace) and and use the og 40b(with a center brace) as its sump and then upgrade the 20 salt to the 29 and use the ob 20 as its sump.
 
Currently we have 4 going.

150 mixed reef (on day 36 being fallow)
20 IM fusion (just converted it to quarantine)
14 IM peninsula (daughter’s zoa collection with sexy shrimp and clown goby)
8 gal nano (just converted it to qt for my scooters to wait for dt)

Oh, and a 30 gal brute bin on last day of ttm, then fish move into qt aquariums.

(Picking up some unwanted/used IMs from kids’ school today....oh boy!!! The possibilities!!!)
 
I had 3 (2 on one system) at one time and it turned out to be overwhelming. Every bit of maintenance I did had to be done 2 times..... clean two protein skimmers, measurements twice, two cal reactors to refill, two c02 cylinders to refill, two glass cleanings, and so on. I am SO relieved now to focus on one tank and do it well. Also, I now only make RO water once every two weeks which is awesome!
