Why only 9 tanks?We started with free and craigslist equipment. As corals started to grow, we sold them cheap. Not to turn a profit but to help offset the costs. Now we have 9 tanks stuffed with coral.

Your right, I should add another! But seriously, I spend a whole lot of time doing maint.Why only 9 tanks?
I might use some of my reef gear in that direction.I did the smart thing and bought most of my gear when i was growing cannabis for a living.
And you stopped because......?????I did the smart thing and bought most of my gear when i was growing cannabis for a living.
Buy as much as possible 2nd/3rd hand.
Because we can!!!I grew up without a garage. You know what's in my garage? My cars. I find it hilarious people that have a garage full of randomness. Why?
If I had a garage my boat would be in it.I grew up without a garage. You know what's in my garage? My cars. I find it hilarious people that have a garage full of randomness. Why?
As a fellow "poor" reefer:
1) I don't go high-end brand names. My aquarium is Marineland, most of my equipment is knock off brands and my lights are black box. Red Sea, etc is too much for me.
2) I go slow. Parts for my system were bought month by month over time. Trades, used stuff and a bit of wheeling and dealing helped.
3) I keep my system simple, so that maintenance is cheap. Filtration is mostly export-based (skimmer and refugium) so that I don't have to buy lots of filter media.
4) I have one reef tank, rather than multiples.
