Al, how many tanks have you had going at one time. I bet you had to set aside a good part of your time and family for maintenance???? Jim in Ohio

Jim all of those are currently running. Maintenance isnt really a problem as I am a very early riser here..3:30-4 am I am up.. I am one of the nutjobs that only sleeps about 4 hrs a night..though Catnaps may occur here and there.
All the tanks have different maintenance needs. Some like discus are more intensive than others like axolotls.



I find the number I am keeping now to be manageable but this is coming from a guy who at the peak of his aquarium insanity had 8000 gals of water in his basement.. the entire basement was tanks. That was a crazy time I do recommend if anyone finds themselves heading in that direction to see a head Dr.

That was a while ago! Oddly I have come full circle and my fish keeping looks more like it did back then.


And tell your wife Hap I am still crossing to wilds.
