3 tanks. My newest is a 40 breeder for corals. Oldest is a 65 RedSea I absolutely love. Largest is a 140 for my Regal angels. Only do it if you feel everything is easy now and you are as nuts as I am.

I feel your pain. I'm down to just two freshwater tanks (plus my saltwater). It's a lot of work.Only one saltwater tank, but I have 4 other freshwater tanks.
Have 2 waterbox..25 peninsula and 50 fw planted which soon to be torn down to transfer to SW...exciting for the processToday I was thinking about how many of us have more than one saltwater reef aquarium and if it's actually a good idea or not. The thought of a brand new tank, with new equipment and a new "clean slate" does seem quite attractive. More coral, more fish, more fun right? Is it a good idea? Today I want to hear from all of you crazies who have more than one aquarium.
1. What would you say to someone who is thinking of setting up a second aquarium?
2. What is one PRO and one CON to setting up a second saltwater tank?

Do the tanks run independently or are they all connected to the same sump? I am thinking of setting up a second tank for frags and connecting it to my main system so I don't have to buy a second set of dosers, trident, etc etc. I think the pros would outweigh the cons. Any thoughts or suggestions to share?I have a 150G mixed reef, 54G SPS tank, 3 24G frag tanks, 2 35G frag tanks, a 180G SPS tank, and a 135G sump. Also a 3G beta tank, a 70G turtle tank, a crested gecko, 2 australian shepherds, and a 1 and 3 year old...and a bad car habbit.
my recommendation is to get enough tanks to keep the animals and corals you want, and then stop. It gets extremely time consuming and expensive to keep expanding.
Currently I only have one, hopefully next year I will add a second. There was a time when I had a 10, 29 and 50, but that was way back when I didn’t have a demanding lifestyle.Today I was thinking about how many of us have more than one saltwater reef aquarium and if it's actually a good idea or not.
