Do Let This Happen To You !

[Back in the fold]

When I first signed up with The Great TFF Forums, back in May of 2019, I had just gotten a one half gallon Betta View "aquarium" at Wal-Mart and got a male Betta. Reading all the great things here inspired me to upgrade to a 2 1/2 gallon tank for my Betta. Then I got a Five gallon to try my hand with Killifish. Then I set up my old 20 high that was languishing in a closet. Then another five gallon and now another 20 high and a ten gallon. Six tanks in less than two years. This is what can happen when you've laid off the fish for awhile. I thought I had this under control but it turns out I've got a wet glass monkey on my back. All of you coming back into the hobby and all you new people starting out , watch out !

Far too late for me lol. I started with a 10g, then bought a 35g, now I also have a 20g. Only the 35 and the 20 are up and running, but hubby wants to do a planted tank in the 10g

Way to late for me.

Started out with a 0.5g Betta fish “view tank”, then upgraded to a 2.5g tank after reading that was best. Then I got a 10g tank... and then a 5g, and then a 20g long, and then a 29g.

Hoping to get rid of some of my smaller tanks so I can get a large SW tank after I move!

It might be a little too late for that... It's only been three months since I got my very first tank, and I've already got my third tank ready to set up.

why bother getting rid of the smaller tanks, just get a big saltwater and keep the smaller ones as freshwater.

I'm with ya! 7 tanks, 2 totes and a snail jar ?

Yeah, @PheonixKingZ Don't get rid of them. Even if you don't use them at times you'll need one of them for something sooner or later. Marine tank ? You must be planning on being a millionaire pretty soon.

I am at 5 tanks now, even the quarantine tank has fish/shrimp in it now as permanent residents. If found something I really wanted I would have to get another tank, so I don't go to fish stores anymore or look at web sites as much. Though did see some nice cichlids on a recent post that made me say "no more!".

Uh oh, you’re starting to look like me. Better figure out that fish room real fast.

With just some very easy reconfiguring I can fit the 55 that I want next and a couple more ten gallons. I've already measured it out. I'm going to stop with ten tanks.

I went from one 35 gallon tall hex tank to 4 tanks (the 35, a 29, a 10, and then a 5G . I downsized when the 10 G sprung a leak so now at 3 tanks.

Fix the ten.

I fixed it with a hammer...it won't leak again as it's in the local dump

I got reverse MTS a couple years ago. Just got sick of all my tanks and tore them down, all except my rainbow tank. Now I'm a little more relaxed and slow paced about it. I've set up a 10g long tank that is awaiting fish while the plants grow up, and a 5g live food tank. Planning to do a 29g paludarium if I ever get around to it.

I'll send you one of these to help you out.
