      I now have empty 90, 72 bowfront, 29 and 20H. The 90 and 72 were display tanks in the house before a remodel made them not workable. The 29 and 20 H are future growout tanks.

        I have around 80 empty tanks of Discus, gave some tanks away to some friends. Not sure when I can restart again depend on my health and others.

          I have empty tanks from cutting back and thinking of new projects which always gets me in trouble. If I had to guess I still have 20 new tanks stacked up in my basement ready to be used for any idea's I come up with. Bad part is when Petco has their 50% off sale I always buy 4 more tanks of the size I want even though I have no plans for them at this time, I can't help myself it is a disease. LOL

            You got the "METS" multiple empty tank syndrome.

              Well if he’s got the Mets that would mean he’s losing every baseball game he plays in!!

                I have empty quarantine tank, don’t remember if it is 24 or 30G. But I don’t have more thank because my wife would kick me to the curve.
                It is running without fish, just plants. You never know when you get the impulse of getting new fish.

                Patience to cycle a quarantine tank is not one of my strengths.

                  This is the main reason that's holding me back from trying to breed. I don't have the space for many grow-out tanks. I have two empty tanks in the garage besides my current qt tanks. A 270 l long (150 x 40 x 45 cm) in fairly good condition, and my previous main tank 450 l (150 x 50 x 60 cm). They are old (the 270 is at least 15 years and has sat unused for maybe 7-8 years) and they've been stored in freezing temperatures over the winters. The reason I upgraded from the 450 last summer was that the seams were already in bad shape and the stand was really iffy and I was afraid some part of the set-up would give out any moment. I wonder if either one of them - probably the smaller one - would be worth restoring to use as a single grow-out tank or is it necessary to have several for different size fry from the same batch to keep them growing?

                    I have a 60g and 15g empty. Rebuilding a stand for the 60, might get it wet this summer.
