Ok, now I'm curious... What's the hamster ball for? LOL...

Nice fishroom. What stock tanks are you using here and would you recommend them?

I have this set up at my office which is in an old school building my office is in one classroom and this was the shop so has lots of space including a garage door to bring tank after tank in.

Hamster ball was for my zebra eels aclimation, he spent his first few weeks in there until eating. I have used it a few times since to isolate or introduce fish into the system.

The majority of the tanks I have, I acquired when my LFS closed down. They were the store display tanks and i purchased tanks, stands, sand and live rock for pennies on the dollar. The main reef tank was a custom build for someone else but was built too wide for them so it was another lucky deeply discounted purchase, it's 24"t 30"w 72"L about 245 gallons. Then two of the three bowfronts were my freshwater planted tanks that started me into the hobby. The third one someone just dropped off.

Oh and the blue bin is a 1000 gallon Pentair with window aquaculture tank around $1200 US shipped to your door. For filtration I have a 50 gallon drum full of k2 media and that DIY algy scrubber. Water is circulated down into a 160 gallon bin with a couple of filter socks one filled with carbon and a jebbo return pump and a 1000 w heater and apex temp prob.

It kind of like a rescue shelter for unused tanks. Lol. Totally awesome! If I had this much room for my "hobby" it would look the same way.
